Not directly, no, but an interesting view of what will happen under the 2017 rules as listed at this point.... It's also something that came up at NYTVR when all 4 members of the finalist alliance were announced as eligible for CMP. (It wasn't clear until we did some digging as to why, and initial thoughts questioned if there should have been more.)

It's somewhat more relivant under the proposal here because this would ensure a distribution of all wildcards under the points model and not artificially cap the number of potential wildcard recipients at three.

If the rest of your argument truly reflects FIRST's intentions, they want more representation, but not that much more, than they could tweak the proposal here to cap at x wildcards per regional.
