Is this any different from having Motoroala teams attend what was once the Motorolla Midwest Regional?
It's no different at all; I wouldn't expect any conflict of interest issues. Of course some will complain, but that's just what happens when you get a huge group of people together. Go ahead and attend your own regional and if you get any flack, you'll have a lot of people defending you.
