In the event a team wins at more than one regional event, the second highest scoring animation will also advance to the professional round of judging.

That has been scrapped. Team 955's animation won BOTH the Sacramento and the Pacific Northwest (Portland) Regional this year. I'm not sure whether it's because the regional officials didn't know the rule, forgot the rule, or ignored it altogether.

I think there's a slight difference. At the Regionals, students tend to pay more attention to the WOW factor of the animation rather than the Concept. The national judges tend to weigh the Concept aspect heavily, moreso than the quality of the animation.
