Any way you want to cut it, Rich, with all due respect, the worst thing about regional qualifying is the fact that it is just plain wrong. Wrong---that's all there is to say about it. And this is not my original statement; I have heard it put this way by many coaches at both DI and DII school

Your point about prefering athletes who compete well against others over those who post strong marks would carry much more weight if all athletes in a given event were competing head to head for spots. But in regionalization they do not, they only compete against the athletes in their own region.
