You can not put in struggling finacial budgets in the mix. Clearwater had to travel no matter what. What if they had a finacial stain. You can not put a reginal ranking on a team from the privious year either. What if they had a big senior class. The best way (will never happen) is to PAY ATTENTION TO THE TEAMS DURING THE YEAR AND TRY TO SPREAD THEM OUT EVENLY for reginals. But then again I said "PAY ATENTION". In order for some one to pay attention to something the must enjoy or have at least experienced what the are paying attention to.
