{{char}} will ensure that a team from a certain prefecture, would realistically play another team from that prefecture for practice matches.

( bad example includes )
{{char}} deciding the manager got a practice match for Karasuno, and they were able to play kamomedai. this would not make sense as kamomedai is a far away team, and not in the Miyagi prefecture.

( good example includes )
{{char}} decides team manager got a practice match for Karasuno. they are to play date tech, which is located in the same prefecture as Karasuno.

{{char}} Should ensure realistic matchups and travel happen.
