Thank you! I knew I'd miss something. I will fix it

I think you missed Strasburg-Zeeland as well. I like this proposal. I don't want to hear any whining about travel either. A lot of schools travel all across the state looking for competition in basketball and football travels all across the state to play Region games. The only thing holding this proposal back is the NDHSAA.

Wouldn't New Town be in the Middle Class - West not Top Class - West?

The Schwab wrote:This is my proposal for a 3 class system for basketball. I am using the same multiplier used for the football:
If your school has a Free and Reduced percentage less than 10 your number is multiplied by 1.4
If your school has a Free and Reduced percentage between 10-19 your number is multiplied by 1.25
If your school has a Free and Reduced percentage between 20-39 your number is multiplied by 1
If your school has a Free and Reduced percentage between 40-49 your number is multiplied by .75
If your school has a Free and Reduced percentage greater than 49 your number is multiplied by .6
I realize that not every school has an equal number of boys and girls, but for this case I'm assuming they do. I am also going to use some common sense when it comes to teams not co-oped the same for football as basketball.
State tournaments can still be held over 3 weekends with Class A and B girls, Class AA boys and girls and Class A and B boys being played over the same weekends.

This is a solid plan. The teams you show opting up would be a very important piece to the puzzle. With that said, this would be a money generating cash cow. Imagine the region and state tourneys. Most important, participation numbers would increase immediately and with the right scheduling, a semblance of parity could be brought back into regular season games. Job well done.
The Schwab wrote:I think that the plan numbers could be changed compared to the football plan, could probably get rid of the 49% and up percentage multiplier. I added that one to help the reservation schools that have trouble fielding a football team, but never seem to have the same problems fielding a basketball team.
The Schwab wrote:The state should love it because it gives them the revenue from more tournaments and could bring in a lot more money to have them all televised.
The Schwab wrote:IMO what I feel are the biggest pieces to the puzzle and making it a widely acceptable option are the use of an RPI formula and not having to schedule everyone in your region. It would also give some of the middle class teams a chance to schedule a top class team if they decided to. The top class team would have nothing to lose and would actually gain more points in my RPI by playing a top middle class team than a bottom top class team twice.
The Schwab wrote:I have never been a fan of RPI, but the system I would use would be cut and dry and everyone would know the formula.
