Yeah, I'm thinking we need to find someone to work with.
100 teams & 12 Matches, that is a pretty crummy ratio of over 8:1.

A typical District has a ratio of under 4:1. For this year's game, perhaps it isn't such a big deal but for typical years, I think this sorting would be pretty terrible.

Remember that one of the great thinks that going to 8 Divisions at the Worlds is that the number of teams per district dropped from 100 per division down to 75.

My two cents.
