Of course I agree. We (Franklin) had to flip with Groesbeck, a 4th place team at the time. It should be rare that a District Champ should have to go on the road against a 4th place team.
Although I can tell you in 2020, our District had the last 4 teams standing in the Region 3 rounds deep. So in that case, you could make an argument for it I guess. But again, it's a rarity.
