Also not a fan, mainly for the points you brought up already.

I don't understand the intent here particularly with the tournaments. Does the SCHSL just not understand how soccer tournaments work? Wouldn't surprise me to be honest. I imagine there could be teams looking to pickup more games mid-season/late-season, which could cause a bit of chaos for referee assignments.

Also a consideration in the region schedule debate is how tough your region schedule actually is. If it's a bit lackluster, the loss of tougher non-region games is a bit underwhelming at best.
