Odds of doing so: pretty bad so far.

If you start counting IRI, 1114 and 2056 paired at every event they possibly could until IRI 2009. That's 5 Regionals, 1 Championship division, and 2 IRIs. (I remember thinking at IRI alliance selection that there'd be no way 2056 would be around for 217 to pick 2nd round even if they wanted to...) I don't
think either of them were captains, but it just kind of happened that way.
I've joked about wanting to continue that kind of a streak with friendly teams...

Also note that there are very few teams to pull off the FRC Triple Play award combination (RCA, WFFA, and Regional Champion at the same event). 1114 did it at the 2008 Waterloo Regional; I think that 217 did something similar back around 2005, but can't remember whether or not it was at one event.

Wildstang's done it at Midwest before I think (2006), and maybe HOT. (This is my big secret mega goal for 1714 this year but the odds of it happening are nil)
