A club can nominate any of the four selected tyres they want. So in effect a club could nominate bbs, dboots and fastrax and drop Schumacher completely.
However as Schumacher and bbs are used at national level they are commonly chosen by clubs.

The reason for the control tyres however is so that many club racers do not have to have the expense of having umpteen different tyres available to suit conditions. For example mini pins at kiddie would be a quick tyre but you would need at least 3 sets for a regional.
Hence having a regional round at a club that won't be using the 'normal' tyres adds a large additional expense for drivers that make up the rest of the region. And you may need more than one set.
If however there is a tyre that could be used there and elsewhere in the region then great.
