They are not supposed to consider the team location, and there is no rule or requirement as to where you submit. Some teams do not have a 'local' event, or may choose to only go to one event that is not in their immediate area, so FIRST does not restrict it.
The judges are also aware that it is common and acceptable for a team to win a Regional Chairman's multiple years in a row. You are not penalized for winning in a previous year - it is always supposed to go to the most deserving team.
