Right now, it seems that there are about 60 teams that have already qualified for nationals. Assuming that the game is 2 v 2 this year, there will be 34 regional winners, 17 regional chairman's awards winners, and an 68 technical award winners. After duplicates are removed, that will be somewhere in the range of 100 teams.
That doesn't count the odds of actually winning a regional or award. Speaking of awards, why are they even including the regional chairman's award winners? That has NOTHING to do with the game that is being played, and is nothing close to a representation of how good your team is at the game.

If they are not going to offer first come/first serve opprotunities to all teams. They should throw out all of these rules and it should be based on the national ranking of all teams (Not counting those who won, they would be guaranteed a spot no matter what).
