Sadly there's nothing we can do about that. Might as well learn to deal with it. Big disappointment but oh well.
Everyone's in the same boat. Everyone has only 2 batteries and no collected batteries from previous years. That is, in fact, MORE fair than everyone but rookies having a collection of batteries from prior years. You can still use old batteries for testing and practice day. You have more chargers than the rookies. With even a little bit of effort on your part to solving the problem you could make 2 batteries work just fine for a regional. If you buy just one extra battery you should be more than covered. They can be had for around $50.

I speak from experience by the way. 57 takes just 3 batteries anywhere we travel and we don't have any problems.
