Re: Is competing at multiple regionals REALLY fair ?
I somewhat agree with placing the suggested restriction on teams.

It's not really inspiring when a team looses a chance in nationals to a team that has three or more chances to get to nationals.

I don't like the idea that to get to nationals, a team has to preform better than every single big name team that has enough money to attend more than one regional. The national competitions are supposed to determine which team preformed the best that year, not the regionals.

If there are no top tier teams, then who do we look up to for inspiration?
I'm not sure how the number of top tier teams is related to the number of regionals teams can enter.
