My two cents: Using points based on class is fairly arbitrary and puts smaller schools at a disadvantage not related to skill. On the boys side, Greenville and Bishop England are always strong, but teams with tough region schedules would steer clear of these teams to bolster their playoff chances. Basically, we sacrifice season competitiveness to try to make the playoffs match our setups more. If quality large schools avoid quality small schools then the season is filled with noncompetitive games at all levels and only the region matchups will be worth anything.
If the region seeding is a problem, go to a subjective seeding method like A/AA. Committees vote on seeding which makes the teams try to impress the committee by scheduling games that are competitive and scheduling head to head matches with teams that may be even with them in the seeding. Personally I think this has worked great in 1A where Lincoln, Academic Magnet and Christ Church have all played quality schedules and they have traveled long distances to play each other.
