The scenario I'm trying to avoid is:

Team A is 50 miles from Regional A and the next closest Regional is 300+ miles away and poses significant issues for Team A to travel to. Team B is 500 miles from Regional B, but really wants to attend. Team B "wins" the lottery, registers for Regional A and prevents Team A from attending Regional A and likely from participating in the FRC program at all.
