Of those three wild cards allocated to the finalist alliance, 5576 had already won rookie all star so it didn't use one. That essentially left championship spots on the table.

Under the system I proposed, 2 additional championship spots would have been offered to the highest seeded teams who weren't already advancing. That would have been the number 5 seed 3883 (Data Bits) and number 6 seed 2667 (Knights of the Valley).
Yeah, we should go deeper than finalist alliances to make sure all six of those champs slots get awarded to somebody at that regional. Personally, I'd be looking at semifinalist captains and first picks, with the alliance that got beat by the winners being higher on the pecking order. I like basing it off elimination rounds. But basing it off qualification seed would still be an improvement over losing those slots. It would also be possible to send another award winner, perhaps Engineering Excellence.
