I think the intent is that teams that choose the event that is geographically closest to them have a preference or advantage over teams that decide they want to travel. After all, should a team from California that lives 5 minutes from an event not get into that event because a team from Florida wants to visit the west coast? Providing a benefit to those teams that choose the closest event to themselves helps to keep costs down across FIRST, especially when you consider that there are team's all over that don't have the funding to pay for buses and hotels.
