What they are talking about with the two regionals is the possibility of a second Long Island regional is 2018.

The part that really alarms me is the maximize the numbers of teams to worlds... Is that a joke? ...snip...
For many years, Michigan got 18 spots because there were 3 regionals replaced thus 18 spots. This stood for many years and lead to a belief that the number of regionals replaced is how many slots you will get. That changed a few years ago when the championship got larger and now it is %of teas representation which is why there are so many teams from Michigan an Worlds.
