Category criteria, such as regions, are problematic for the reasons you've just outlined and particularly so when having a "region" is a mandatory field. There are KB forums that have this functionality and it's sometimes a pain in the arse and adds no value whatsoever.
e.g. somebody in Auckland wanting to get to Manfeild or post stuff about a Manfeild event other than the event itself says this is in "Auckland" because that's where their community of interest lies.
e.g. an event that covers more than one region, like for instance, a Grand Challenge or Capital 1,000km event, or where the venue borders more than region.
If there is a view that having region-based tags adds value, then there needs to be a system that allows exceptions to be dealt with easily and efficiently.
