That region back then was like 8-10 teams, it was a loaded region already, TC had plenty of good teams throughout those years as well, I grew up in the era when TC and Westy played in the jamboree every year, westy would win 7-0 and think they were world beaters then go 6-5 while TC went multiple rounds in the playoffs consistently, the new region should be more competitive and make teams earn a playoff spot
