This area has needed more events to accommodate growth, the event won't be nearly as empty as you think.

Is it possible he meant "Super Regional South", or the South Championship? Not the Seven Rivers Regional, which has very confusingly similar initials, but I don't see where the second S comes from.
I wouldn't be surprised if South Championship just plain does not fill up all the way, with a limited process for switching to that championship and two of the larger district regions, plus WI / MN teams competing Week 7, being ineligible.
