I once saw this analogy used, and I thought it was fitting.

If one out of every 125 students is considered a "good athlete" then schools with 200 total kids can hope for 1 or 2. Schools with 1500, can hope for 11 or 12. Yet, we are going to pit those schools against each other?

This isn't about giving everyone a trophy. It's about a balanced system giving the best opportunities. There are some places that can't compete with bigger schools.

If we had Caverna and Trinity in the same class in football, would we just say "should have tried harder"? Of course not. Well, at least a smart person wouldn't.

The whole "get better" excuse is lazy and useless. Period. It's an attempt to over simplify extremely complex matters, by people who don't understand greater dynamics at play.


Look at boxing. A historically great lightweight isn't going to stand a chance against an average-at-best heavyweight. Would you tell then to get better? Or admit that there's no reason for them to be competing against each other?



6 classes isn't needed, but, something is. Maybe 2 or 3. But, I can promise you'd get a ton of great post season games with that, in every sport.
