It works with some events, and doesn't with others. For example, my team (1619) is the only team to have gone to IRI last year out of the Utah lineup. However, there are a number of excellent teams like 987, 2122, and 4334 that certainly would have made it in but didn't apply for the event.

Other events like that include Las Vegas (148, 842, and 1538 didn't go to IRI) and even Silicon Valley (254, 971, 2468 all didn't go to IRI). Sometimes it works as an indicator and sometimes it doesn't.
