I have an idea of how to structure this arrangement but will wait until after Champs to write it up. The problem with "luck of match schedules" is that it is arbitrary, and teams are not viewing it as unfair. I'm not sure why it should be considered "part of the game"--it's not an obvious consideration. And as I pointed out "random" doesn't equal "fair" over such a small number of opportunities. The CVR and SVR situations are not uncommon in the large regionals. I suspect that the 2007 schedule was implemented incorrectly.
No, it was just BAD.

And let's stop calling the current schedule random. It is not. And one of the metrics it looks at is "number of times played with or against".
