I understand what you are trying to do, but it does have a flaw. There are only 10-20 teams that do not ever have to worry about qualifying for nationals. Everyone else is playing for the chance to qualify for the next year. It would be extremely difficult (though not impossible) to qualify for the next years nationals if you only went to nationals. In the same way, if a team couldn't play in the playoffs, they would have less of a chance of pre-qualifying for the next year.

This would also tend to decrease the quality of the teams at the nationals. The regionals are a time to practice and debug your robot. If a pre-qualified team does not have the chance to go to the regional, all that takes place at the nationals. That would not be a good thing.
