So, after posting this, I decided to check out where MN teams were competing. Using Ed Law's spreadsheet, I found all the MN teams, then went through the regionals to find how many teams were competing where. Here's a small breakdown on that, if anyone is interested:

Out of the 191 teams listed, MN teams are competing at exactly 6 regionals:
Code:
Lake Superior     : 55
Northern Lights   : 50
Central Illinois  : 3
Wisconsin         : 10
10K Lakes         : 58
North Star        : 52
Also looking at the number of regionals MN teams are competing at, there is 1 team competing at 3 regionals, 15 teams competing at 2 regionals, and the rest are competing at a single regional.

Amusingly, this shows that even if MN teams took up all available champs qualifications slots at each of the tournaments they attended, the state would still only send 33 teams, almost a full regional-worth less than we would under a proportional district scheme. As it is, I'd anticipate it to be more around 20-25 teams sent, making it probably the 8th or 9th year in a row that MN has been underrepresented at Championships

EDIT: Here are the numbers with ND:

Code:
Lake Superior     : 56
Northern Lights   : 52
Central Illinois  : 4
Wisconsin         : 11
10K Lakes         : 58
North Star        : 52
1 team with 3 regionals
17 teams with 2 regionals
176 teams with 1 regional
