How we create "pools" - teams of 4 - for Pool Play

When grouping teams for pool play, for example, Varsity Boys teams, we use the following priorities:
The first consideration is geography so that the likelihood of teams ever playing each other during the regular season is very small. For example we've had groupings in the past having teams from New York, Georgia, Texas, and Florida. This would almost ensure that these teams probably never played each other before.

The second consideration is team won-loss record to balance out the 4-team pool so that it contains a fair and balanced mix of strong, medium and weak teams.
note: a pool of all strong teams is a disadvantage - causing the better teams to play tougher competition and having their records blemished before the divisions are created
note: a pool of all weaker teams is also unfair because the pool play competition is weaker and gives a deceptive won-loss record as the divisions are created

So with the balance of geography and team records, we will establish random pools that are labeled with a number only for purposes of organization. In other words, Pool #1, is not a ranking, just an identifier for the 4 teams that will be in it.
