I would be a very cool thing, but also very hard to pull off.

There are a few non-first run competitions (iri, sweet repeat, to name a few). However, there would be a few problems besides just getting the event up:

1) Because you would be inviting rookie teams, most likely their budget is going to be less than an older team. Therefore, they most likly would want to use the money which they would use in this competition on attending another regional / buying other stuff.

2) Becuase these teams would be from across the country, it would cost a lot just to transport people / lodgeing. See pt. 1 for why rookie teams can't spend a ton.

Not to burst your bubble or stop you from doing anything, just that it would be hard to do.
