What if, instead of teams, the regionals were assigned to a specific CMP? For example, if a team earned a CMP slot at the 2017 St. Louis regional, they would automatically qualify for the St. Louis CMP, regardless of where the team is actually located. This would keep the number of teams that qualify for each CMP roughly equal. Additionally, teams that want to ensure they can go to a particular CMP can do so by picking a corresponding regional.

I'm not sure how districts would play into this; if a district team travels to a regional and earns a CMP slot at the opposite venue their district is assigned, which event should they (initially) qualify for?
