Well, if a team went to two or more regionals and won them both, that will reduce the number of winning group. But it doesn't matter as much because the whole process is just trying to make sure each division have equal amount of different level of teams out there.

So even those multiple-regionals winning teams are occupying the winning group, there will still be lots of teams in runners up group as well as semi-finalists. We are talking about distributing the best of the best teams into the divisions so that each division will have a fairly equal quality. It's only a way to help random distribution of teams divide up the teams more evenly.

And the issue about teams being winner in a regional and runner-up in another, I think they deserve to be in the winning group simply because they won a regional.

In the event of teams not getting into elimination matches because of multiple-regional teams taking up their space, they will still be distributed evenly by a random process into each division, and provide a second chance to show themselves.
