I can only speculate... PGF could "try" to seed teams, but they'd only succeed in generating lots of accusations of preferential treatment. That's why, in SoCal at least, they encourage people to witness the blind draw and even broadcasted it.
I realize your intent is to give the top teams the best chance to qualify, However, from a philosophical standpoint, do they really deserve it? From a purist standpoint, all teams should face the same risk of a tough draw.
