I'm guessing no other regional is going to match the 25% number that Waterloo has, but that's probably artificially inflated by the size (or lack thereof) of the event. That being said, that 25% number also means you're not going to run into many matches without a high level team. So the event becomes that much more webcast/spectator friendly.
The ratio is effective at determining the competitiveness of the average qualification match but everything playoff related including seeding is better represented by the actual number of Championship playoff teams.

The more teams that get sent to champs, the less there is a chance of a good team getting snubbed which happens quite frequently in areas without districts or fewer/bigger events.
