Andy, I think the only fair way to do it is to have 2 tournaments. And with two different numbers of teams. Don't worry, we can include the south, west, and all the other combinations of the cardinal directions.
Here are my thoughts on a "regional tournament"
Do it like congress and the senate. Have one tournament where there is equal representation of all regions. For instance, have 8 teams from each region. Have the other tournament with an equal percentage of teams from each region. For instance, if the midwest has 20% of the teams in all of FIRST, then they will have 20% of the teams in the regional.

The only relevance I see out of this comment is that the Northeast should have more recognition than the other regions because they have more representation at the Championship.
