If a team was winning by a large number of points, some alliances still didn't bother to get the rank point. Anybody know why this kept happening or was this not a complete understand to how rank points work?

Teams at Regionals seem to care less about where they're ranked. At a regional being top 8-10 is important for being an alliance captain, but there really isn't a difference between ranks 15-64. At District Events your rank affects if you go to DCMP, so more teams try to rank high. I did some math last year and found that WAY more teams did coopertition at District Events than at Regionals (even highly competitive Regionals were outdone by very weak District Events). If a team at a Regional doesn't expect that they'll be in the top 8, then why try for a breach?
