As its a BRCA regional event it's up to the BRCA to provide a set of rules that have to be adhered to. The rule in this instance is rule 15.24 which states national events have four rounds of qualifying, weather permitting. Although this rule specifically mentions nationals, it is not listed as a regional variation rule so regionals should have 4 rounds weather permitting.
I don't see a problem running 4 rounds of qualifying and 3 finals for everyone, you just shorten or cancel the short course truck class as this is nothing to do with the actual BRCA regional event, merely a filler when numbers are low. Also you have an open class running for people practicing for their own regional event in the future.
The regional event is first and foremost what we are supposed to be there for so as long as that runs to the rules there will be no problems, all other classes can be doctored to suit.
Also, as you have already said, the same format has to be used for the whole regional series.
