If you look at the "Top 4", you will see that the region groupings only allows one winner from North America. A Canadian college got this one, but there are US schools in the results list of runner ups.
this is incorrect. The top 4 are the top teams from the finals. There were US Teams there as well (U of Illinois placed tied for 17th). While you're correct that there were winners of each regional, as UWaterloo won the North American regional, they were not the only N.A. team at the finals in Shanghai.
Just to cement it, UWaterloo's B team was second in the regional, but since only one team per school is allowed at the finals, they didn't get to attend.
