2017 Enrollment Numbers and Classifications

[Verb58]

I must be off on counting. I've counted 3 times the current number of teams in d1 at 309. Not sure how I'm off at 297.

[Indian]

Which list are you looking at. I am using 4 private schools.

[TheAmbassador]

Still have 3 undeclared.

What 3 are undeclared?

[Verb58]

The current schools from the TSSAA website all teams in all regions and classes of d1.

[TheAmbassador]

I have 297 now which would be 50, 50, 50, 49, 49, 49.

I'm coming up with 297 counting today's additions as well. Have they said the 1-3A will be the schools with 50 teams? I just believe from an attendance reference point the way I have them broken down in the 1-2A thread is closer. It has 49,49,49,50,50,50. It seems that a breakdown like this one has larger gaps between the enrollment breaks except for 3-4A. Edited October 14, 2016 by TheAmbassador

I believe you're counting the non football playing schools as well.

No the schools I'm counting are from the current schools playing. It lists what their current records are and the current seeding in their individual regions. I take it you are taking out the new d2 schools to get the 297. I counted 13 teams moving to D2. If that is what you are using that would make 296 in next years grouping. 296/6=49.3 teams per class. Which can give the TSSAA some creativity when grouping classes. It will allow them to look at geography to determine class breaks for the border teams. 49,50,51 per class. It will free them from being locked in to equal teams across the board.

Wave88 I don't think there is any way to give all 6 classes the exact same amount of teams, but I believe they all should be within 1 team of each other. If the TSSAA classifies them like they said they were going to do it. The board of control said 6 equal classes. I don't see any way they can abide by this unless each class has 49 or 50 teams.

[Verb58]

That's my understanding as well. Having a direct interest in that cut number, I'm trying really hard to find a way that my team (Gallatin) goes from the smallest 6A team to the largest 5A team. I'm sure the teams in the next tier are doing the same. If 6A has 50 so be it. It really benefits me and the team I follow for that cut off to be 49. It's out of my control and we will play where we are put and make the most of it. But I do have my druthers.

[Coach]

I believe Gallatin will be the largest 5 A team in the state and Dickson the smallest 6a.

[TheAmbassador]

The heck with the big schools. LMBO. I'm just trying to find out about the 1A-2A boys. I have searched and searched. I don't see any way that any class will have more than 50 teams.
