Most competitive Classification

[VolNation85]

There has been some talk on the other boards about the number of teams with sub .500 records that made the playoffs. So I decided to see what the numbers show across all classifications. Just simply based on the number of sub .500 teams in the playoffs for each classification....

Class 6: Has 3 teams sub .500 in
Class 5: Has 5 teams sub .500 in
Class 4: Has 1 team sub .500 in
Class 3: Has 15(not a typo) of 32 teams sub .500 in
Class 2: Has 3 teams sub .500 in
Class 1: Has 8 teams sub .500 in

So based on these numbers, it's safe to say that Class 4 is the most competitive as a whole. Not only does Class 4 have the fewest sub. 500 teams in the playoffs, they also have the most undefeated teams. Louisa, Eastern View, Dinwiddie, and Monacan are all 10-0.

Region C in division 2 has no sub .500 teams in playoffs. Just thought that was worth noting.

Region D has one, and it's 4-6 Richlands who played a brutal schedule

The even numbered divisions usually will have the best records, because they tend to have head to head regular season match ups with odd numbered teams that are one division below them.

In most years 2A is most competitive.
