This should start an interesting conversation.

I propose that any school with a number under 27 that opts to play 8 man this cycle and forfeits a game at any time during the cycle must play 6 man during the next cycle.

Thanks for the effort and especially by going further and adding the district projections.

One thing though, I had my split between D1/D2 happening within the 36's. So when I saw yours, I was wondering where we diverged.

I had Niobrara (19) - Verdigre (17) at 36. I see you have them at 41. Am I missing another school involved or is the 41 an error?

With the tiebreakers figured in, that means Hi-Line should be D1 and Niobrara/Verdigre D2.

I'll make some adjustments to my numbers and my districts.

Thanks!

Thanks! I made a number of changes. I must have gotten in a hurry. I missed on quite a few. Working on getting it all straight now with district projections.
