Nonetheless, it could happen again this weekend.
(although I calculate less than a 2% chance of that happening in quals)
It was at the UTC New England Regional in 2003. We were regional finalists as an alliance, it was not from qualifying (edit: this was the 2 team alliance era still), I don't recall what seed we were.

I believe 176, 177, 178 as a qualifying team up has happened within the last 5 years though.

Also there was a long span when 175 didn't compete at the New England/Hartford regional for the first part of the 3 team alliance era (2005-2010?), so we didn't all play at the same event for a long period of time which is part of why this didn't happen.
