"3A numbers:  450-1004

In my opinion, they need to do something about this.  Schools such as Buna, OF, HF in the same classification as schools with more than 1000 students.  I realize they may never play any of these schools.  Maybe an option would be to add a 6A division.  Maybe this could bring up some larger 2A with smaller 3A.

[BLUEDOVE3]

Its not a perfect system. But overall is good

[stevenash]

What I meant to ask for was the paramaters for each classification.  As in 1-a is 200-400  etc etc

[/quote]That's about a 2.2 ratio from smallest to largest.  Not much different than 2A (2.25) and 4A (2.1).

[stevenash]

Does anybody know if the spreads (from smallest pop to largest pop in each division) has changed much from the last one?

[AggiesAreWe]

Numbers for classification in last realignment:

2010-2011 & 2011 & 2012

5A  2065 & up
4A  990 to 2064
3A  430 to 989
2A  200 to 429
1A  199 & below
      99.9 & below

[/quote]Again, that's roughly the same ratio's; 2.1 - 2.3

[AggiesAreWe]

The difference from top to bottom in 3A last realignment was 559.

This realignment the difference is 554.

Hardly any change at all concerning that number.

true, but the difference between 200 and 400 is nowhere near the difference between 450 and 1000.  The ratios are similar, but that's a huge gap between attendance numbers.  if i have 399 kids at my school, and you have 200, i only have 200 extra students.  if i have 1000 kids, and you have 450, i have 550 extra students to find a starting five for my basketball program... that's a HUGE advantage.

[/quote]that's irrelevant, statistically speaking. The consistent ratios of smallest to largest is the fairest way to set up each classification.
