Maybe I didn't explain myself very well. Good officials can certainly work these games (and most likely do). Certain people may, or may not have been exposed to varying levels of competitive situations. Even in a small town one's ability to manage a game and exorcize good conflict resolution can be challenged (whether its 3000, or 500 many of the same variables apply). Plus the added feature of having everyone in such close proximity IMO adds a slightly different element.

That’s all I was getting at…..
