Then, everyone else scheduled real softly and ended up outpointing them by only losing 1-2 games. Would that be fair, because it is possible?
Keep the auto bid but force districts to re-align. The fact that Honaker can win the BDD by not winning a game over a team in their own division (2) is a joke. Grundy, Richlands, Tazwell, and Graham should be forced down into a new district. Ship PV/JJK to the CMD and leave the LPD/Cumberland/BDD as Division 1 districts. (I know Coeburn flirts with D2/D1 but if you move down the schools I mentioned above they are D1.). It's much more evened out on a regional level by enrollment and a lot of the general bull that goes on would be eliminated. FWIW, I'm also in favor of shrinking the Cumberland by moving Coeburn and Thomas Walker into the new LPD.
