The problem with that is then there would be no teams qualifying from the first round of regionals, because teams will want to use the first regional they attend to work out the bugs. Teams will use the later regionals to qualify so they have a better chance once all/some of the bugs are worked out.
This may not always be true.

If a team knows they have a solid, consistent robot (finished in week 3, lots of driver practice), they might choose a week 1 regional. The learning curve is a lot steeper early on, if you know what you are doing in week 1, you can do fairly well, without much effort against teams that still don't have a clue.
