Small sample size...
With so few, it's all over the place depending on the size of the venue they were able to get.
Not counting existing events that became double events this year, I guess it's an average of 52 teams each. Last year it was only 35 teams per new regional.



FYI
Blake's estimate for the cost of a regional comes from the FIRST Regional Planning Guide & Manual which was published on the FIRST forums.

~50 events x ~$200,000/event = $10M.
