For me:

Homefield advantage is all on the mind. Any good running board is good to play on. I've seen coaches get crushed on their own boards set the way they prefer.

Perhaps you can use a dark room timer and make it a requirement for both coaches fastest man to run a minimum of x number of yrds within a certain a amount of time before the board is deemed playable. Anything over that has to be agreed upon by both coaches.
