How do you seed them without having them all pay a 7 game round robin schedule? Though that would be step in the right direction. Having regions
without districts and letting in only the top 4 finishers accomplishes
much the same thing, with the added bonus of helping to eliminate
more of the strong versus weak district problem. Any way to get down
to only 32 teams per class instead of 64 will be a move in the right
direction.

use a computer ranking system there are a few of them out there. One that takes into account strenght of schedule. This would force teams to play better team instead of padding their schedule
