Six classes is too many. With five classes or four I feel like this stuff sorts itself out much better.The executive committee voted to approve classes 1–4, but also decided to send the Class 5 and Class 6 realignments back to the drawing board. The two alignment committees are to come up with a solution before the next board meeting in January.

so who do you want to combine?Six classes is too many. With five classes or four I feel like this stuff sorts itself out much better.

but the problem is with 5 and 6; in fact they haven't even been approved yet.I would say 1 and 2 and 3 and 4. The population variance is huge with some of the class 6 schools anyways. Some have over 1000 more kids than others is the same "class 6"

just decide whether we will have 5 or 4 divisions, then divide everybody by that number.
we will end up with more than 52 schools in each division (too lazy to actually do the math)
you cannot have it both waysYes but this has nothing to do with competition or population. Only travel time. This also only matters if you make a playoff run. If they want to join Region B just realize it is a crowded playoff field and 2-3 really good teams won’t make the playoffs. I personally think 6 classes waters down the field especially at the lower classifications. 6 state champions is too many in my view.

if you compact the schools into less classes you will have more than 2-3 teams not making the playoffs
Yeah, hold up guys. This decision has nothing to do with reducing the number of classes. This was simply buying a little time to reconsider the request of a few schools. Consolidating classes is not even under consideration.Those particular teams have an issue with their region assignment. It has nothing to do with what I think. They want to keep 6 classifications just move into a new region to help with travel time. Their "new" region will be the one with a few good teams missing the playoffs while other regions will potentially be a cake walk. Unless they want to extend their playoff week in that particular region then everyone can make it. I personally think they should stay in the region they are in currently to keep the competitive balance
Regarding the whole set up:
I am personally in favor of going back to four classifications and yes I realize that there maybe some good teams that don't advance as far. But I also think that if there are only 4 classes each state champion can be truly worthy of that title every year.

I know I didn't have the heart to tell himBack to 4 classes? When was that?
It was A Divisions 1/2, AA Divisions 3/4, AAA Divisions 5/6. To my knowledge it was always 2 Divisions in each AAA/AA/A.If I am incorrect my mistake when I was playing we were in the same playoff brackets with schools that had waaaay higher enrollments so I assumed that was the case. I was told before that originally it was only 3 class A, AA, and triple AAA and they broke AAA into 5 and 6. You seem to be trying to be witty at my expense. Was just trying to add something to the thread but it doesn’t seem to be appreciated so I’ll leave it alone.
