I'm referring to the original question. For those that have forgotten, the question was, essentially, "Why are REGIONAL areas underrepresented at Championship?" Not about an area having "more better" teams that don't get to go.

So what I'm looking at is that you take the top X that aren't going, and those that are from an UNDERrepresented area get first crack at going, all other things being equal. It's a hybrid system: top X teams that aren't currently going, ranked 1-X, combined in some way with the underrepresentation status of their respective areas to produce the final priority list on who gets asked.

It's not about being from an area with good teams killing your chances. It's about answering the original question (not the somewhat-related but tangential current main focus of the thread, how do we get all of the best teams to the Championship).
