Just an idea, how about this scenario:
The top 8 teams (or alliances) from each regional will qualify for the national tornement. The rest of the teams will compete in a smaller tornement. (also held at epcot or wherever). The competition expands to 5 days, day 1 will be practice. Days 2 and 3 will be for the smaller tornement, days 4 and 5 will be for the national tornement. At the conclusion of day 5 awards and the team party and stuff will be held for all teams. And why not for the hell of it pit the winner of the smaller tornement vs. the national champions, kinda like the superbowl.

Also for added effect, i loved the idea of the alliance lottery so I say before each regional a lottery is held. The teams stick together for the duration of the competition. Then the top 8 teams move on to the nationals together as a team, to see how they fare against other teams. This could get some very interesting matches in, and maybe even solve some age old questions like who is tougher, the New England teams or the Midwest teams and so on. So now teams could battle for local pride also =)

Just a thought
