Note that these equations have absolutely nothing to do with the number of district teams in each region, but rather the number of total teams in each region.

That's actually my point. Indiana had 49 teams in 2016 where NC had 52 teams. Now that means in 2017 14/52 = 26.9% of teams from NC go to worlds where 10/49 = 20.4% of teams in IN get to go to worlds. All I'm saying is it's not the same % of each area going to worlds. I thought that was one of FIRST's points when they allocated spots to worlds.

Chesapeake 26/132 = 19.7%
Indiana = 10/49 = 20.4%
MI = 79/411 = 19.2%
MAR = 24/121 = 19.8%
NC = 14/52 = 26.9%
NE = 35/181 = 19.3%
PNW = 41/158 = 25.9%
PeachTree = 17/65 = 26.2%
