4-5 Class Model

[CRF4Dan]

So there has been a lot of discussion over the last year or two from fans about the 6-class system and how it should be either a 4 or 5 class system. So in the few weeks since the state championship games, I put together a couple of models... one a 4-class and the other at 5-class. Take a look and see what they could look like.

Both look good. Have to earn your way into the playoffs.

Yeah there is wiggle room in some regions to move a team from one to another or class to class.

I know a lot of folks complain about disproportionate size of regions but we must remember regions are geographical so of course not all regions are going to be equal.

Good stuff, Dan! Out of curiosity, what was your ADM threshold for each class per model?

To be honest I did not have one. I just capped things evenly at first and then took numbers and bunched them for example if Class 5's last school in was at 560 and Class 4 had a school at 558 and then then there was a gap to the next school of 548, I moved 558 to Class 5.

Looks good Dan. Thanks for the hard work you put in. For you personally, would you rather have a 6/5/4 Class system? For me personally, if changes were made, I'd go with 5 Classes.

I like the idea of four classes the most...but 5 would be interesting as well. Earning your way into the playoffs is the way it should be. Some of those regions though in both models...sheesh! Depending on the sport there are some absolute bloodbaths out there. Love it.

Looking at this stuff in the past...those two middle classes always as an issue with a MASSIVE region. Really hard to make a region that doesn't look like King George all the way down to GW Danville, or Handley, etc. We have that problem now with 6 classes (just look at 4D).

I would be in favor of either system as long as they force LCA to be in class 3 or higher. Having them in class 2 would be diabolical. 😂
