Previously, I talked about the issues that needed to be addressed and how I would go about addressing them. In this post, I'll keep it short, and lay out how the new classification system would look. I'll save the "what if this was in place this year" topic for the next post(s).
First, a rough outline of rough enrollment ranges:
Division 1 (96) = 1115+ (w/ slight adjustments due to geography)
Division 2 (96) = 480-1115 (w/ slight adjustments due to geography)
Division 3 (94) = 150-480
Division 4 (94+) = 20-150
Here would be the rough Regional, District and League alignments in a new four class system. I tried to make the most reasonable leagues and divisions based primarily on geography (and current as well as past league affiliation), aiming for between 6-11 teams per league/division. Notable changes include Cedarcrest and the Olympia area schools in D2. I didn't look too closely at potential changes to D3 or D4, as I know less about those schools.
Asterisk next to a team expected to opt-up. Caret denotes placement due to geographical concern (8 schools between 1100-1160 with 3 going to D1 and 5 to D2).
