KHSAA question??

airball3 · 09-03-2011, 12:47 PM

Does anybody know how KHSAA classes each school?

1A, 2A, 3A and so on.

Average number of boys over 2 or 4 year enrollment period.

That's what always pissed me off- when people would say "oh, CCH is 3a (back before they made more classes) because they don't have to count any girls, so they have that many more boys."

Really?

Yep. It's all factored over "Potential Eligible Athletes", or something like that. E.g. Boys.

Until about 6 years ago, the KHSAA used total enrollment (Boys and Girls) to determine classification. All boys schools simply had their enrollment doubled. For those schools with a majority of girls, such method pushed them into higher classes.

Fortunately the KHSAA realized the silliness of doing it that way and changed to just using the boy number.

So, how many boys make a school A, AA, AAA, etc.

the top 32 teams in enrollment make up 6a, the bottom 32 teams make up 1A with 5A,4A,3A,2A evenly splitting the rest

A side note to this system. In 4A the two 'smallest' schools are Highlands and LexCath.

If anyone want to see a system that seems to work well. Look at Indiana. They have 5 classes with 8 7-8 team Sections. The teams play for a Sectional championship in a 3 week classic 8 team bracket. But how is seeding done and who gets the by if there are only 7 teams? Blind draw. #1 and #2 may play each other first week or in the finals, you never know until the draw. But also #7 and #8 are not guaranteed to be sacrificial lambs in the first week. Also, every team makes the playoffs. Then the sectional winners play another classic 8 team playoff the Class championships over another 3 weeks.

Kentucky could do the same thing going back to 4 classes.
