I think the only exception would be if a HoF team (103, 341, 365) qualified outside, since they're already exempted from counting against the MAR total.
Edit:
Here's the rule listed below. It doesn't say what slot gets removed, but I would assume a "points" slot.

Scott, I'm still not entirely sure what happens in the case of HOF teams, there was a lot of discussion about this during the later part of 2013 and early 2014, but I can't remember if we conclusively had an answer. If we apply the wildcard rules/logic to this instance, an HOF team would remove a slot from their district assuming their regional slot was their
first qualification of 2014. That being said - the slot may also be passed down, since HOF teams are not 'supposed' to count towards a region's slot allotment.
Regarding which slots are removed, yes, in the case of an outside qualification one of the 'points' slots are removed since they're essentially 'open' slots for qualification.
