The people talking about having a super-regional always seem to assume that teams would continue to sign up for two regional competitions before the super-regional. I'm wondering how many teams that actually qualify for and go to the Championship event through winning an event just participated in one regional.

Seems to me that the powerhouse teams sign up for 2, maybe 3 regional competitions to increase their odds for an invitation. What if to qualify for a super regional, you just need to make it to the semi-finals or win an engineering award at one regional? Then teams would still compete in their same 2 events per year prior to a championship.
