For discussion's sake:

136 teams competed in 2016 (1 showing as registered but didn't compete)
73 attended 1 regional
53 attended 2 regionals
10 attended 3 regionals

30 attended World Champs
8 attended 1 regional (11.0% yield)
16 attended 2 regionals (30.2% yield)
6 attended 3 regionals (60.0% yield)

Of the 8 single event teams, 5 qualified via RAS. The others were 3rd pick event winners (2 from the same event - via a backup being called).

As mentioned - if you only want to attend one event - you'll be able to continue as before. Most Ontario events were small to begin with, so you'll barely notice the difference.

Yes - there's no single event route to qualify for World Champs, but single event teams are unlikely to qualify under the current system. Last year only 3 out of the 65 veteran single event teams qualified for WCMP. You probably have a better shot via the waitlist.
