Perhaps. FIRST Canada has made sure there will be ample space in Ontario for teams to get 3rd plays, so many teams may forgo playing at a regional in order to save on registration fees ($1200 CAD for a 3rd district vs ~$5200 CAD for a regional) and travel costs. However as stated by Ed and others, there still might be some Ontario teams looking to attend a regional for the direct qualification option. Also, don't be surprised to see an uptick in registration from Quebec teams who can no longer go to Ontario for their second play.
