There is no shame for a team of 12 year olds in losing to the Yankees. And they'll not see the Yankees again for quite a while if they got there for once by sheer luck. If they keep bouncing back to meet the Yankees, well, maybe those 12 year olds are actually pretty good at baseball.
My point is that so far my experience is that I play 12 year olds one game, then Yankees, then 12 year olds, then the Astros, then 13 year olds, then the Red Sox. Sure it keeps my win loss at 50/50, but man is it no fun. And there are literally 1000s of other 12 year old teams in my division. I should never see the Yankees ever, until I am close to ready. The only reason I do see them is the system is broken and thinks we are a good match. Hence the complaint in the first place.
You have not experienced playing anything near the yankees. It might feel like it to you, but you have not.
Ok perhaps the Yankees metaphor breaks down. Let’s get finer with our gradations. To a little league team the functional difference between the local high school team and the Yankees is moot. If my OP is 2x better equipped or 100x is irrelevant, my chance of winning if they play is 0. My solution works in either case though. I maintain that the only way the high school team ends up in my pool is sandbagging. Kick out the sandbaggers. I looked at the top 10 of my division and they actually have rosters that look like mine. This means there are a bunch of overpowered players bumming around the little leagues, playing now and again but mostly forfeiting, floating around the middle of the pack. Boot them. Let the rest of us play against our peers.
