Indeed you are not...  having all the members of your team being able 
to practice together is, IMHO,  a much better way to promote a 
country wide  improvement in Ultimate - rather than improvement of  a small
 number of teams made up of great individual players from all over the place.

Having said that, rules such as this need to be properly implemented 
and then enforced - mistakes can result in hiccups such as happened 
at the student outdoors last year.
