I think we need a clarification of intent on the "outside of district eating a slot" thing. It seems to me that the intent was to keep the number of teams attending championships from each district region predictable, so that, for example, New England sends 30 teams, not "30 plus a few from regionals," especially since those extra few would come at the expense of non-district regions. However, I'm not seeing that a team that double-qualifies outside of their district, or even outside/inside their district, would eat two slots.

If a team qualifies for championships at a regional once, it makes sense to me that one less team will be able to qualify from the district.

If a team qualifies for championship at a regional, and then again at their district championship, it would make sense to me for the next team by points to qualify instead of double-counting a single team.

If a team qualifies twice outside of their district, it would make sense for only one district slot to go away, as taking away more would reduce the number of teams from the district that qualify.
