No, no one has ever won three and the Championship. Team 47 did it in the nonalliance era, they were double teamed at Championship and lost. Team 1114 was picked by team 70 and they rounded out their alliance with 48, they then lost in the finals on the Curie division, due to some crazy bad luck. Team 1503 was picked by 987 and they rounded out their alliance with 1718, they were knocked out in the Semi-Finals by the amazing 25-968-195 alliance.
As for teams that could have won three regionals in the same year, in 2006 25 played in two regionals and swept the field not losing a match until championship, they would have certainly won a third regional (Instead they won the Newton Division and lost in the finals to 296-217-522). Team 245 won two regionals and made it to the finals in another in 2005, they beat some of the best teams and won the Archimedes division with 217. I am shocked that 217 couldn't pull it off this year, another team to do the 2 win one finalist thing, they will probably win a division this year.
We will see if 1114 or 1024 can break the streak of winning three regionals and not winning championship. I think that 1114 will always have a shot to win three regionals every year, and that the 1114-2056 will win together for the next few years.
