It's not a level playing field now, nor will it ever be. Life isn't fair. The teams located next to a John Deere R&D facility will always have an advantage over teams that are in the inner-city with 4 other teams within 10 miles.

Similarly high school football teams that recruit players from all over the country play teams who can barely recruit from their own school. We don't change the way football games are scored, or the way the tournament is set up to balance everything out, and make things fair.

The good teams qualify for State, the bad teams don't. It's the way competition works. There isn't anything wrong with that.
