TSSAA Question

[letrrip]

How in the world is a school with 250 students expected to compete with a school that has 600?400 to 450 maybe. It would seem easier for the 600 student school to compete up than the small school. How did they arrive at the classification benchmarks? Why don't we have 4 classes instead of 3 or at least better parity than exist today? I'm sure Goodpasture and USJ are fine teams with excellent players, but it seems unfair with their size that they play single A.

Multiply your schools attendance by 1.8 and that number is used to determine your classification.

Cry me a river. Next year, Lenoir City has to move up to AAA and compete with Farragut.

correct me if im wrog but i believe the 1.8 multiplier rule is based only on private schools only.usj will move up while jackson christian will stay down.it doesnt affect the public schools with a 1.8 multiplier.

The multiplier is only applied to Private D1 schools. Not sure but I think the TSSAA also changed the # of student breaking point for classifications which allows some Public schools to move down in classification. Is this correct?

there is a possiblitly a team could compete because i attended a school of 140 and was a starter on the basjetball team and we played schools with 1000 plus and we were second in state this year in our district

It only takes two or three good players to make a basketball team. Can't compare it to baseball or football.
