Myth Ep. 9 - Class and District Assignments

from MSHSAA All Access Podcast

MSHSAA Myths: How Class & District Assignments Are Determined (2.0 Differential, Enrollment & Geography) On the MSHSAA All-Access Podcast, Executive Director Dr. Jennifer uekstad continues the MSHSAA Myths series by explaining how class and district assignments are created before the championship factor is applied. Assistant Executive Directors Lou Mazzocco and Doug Fessler describe how the number of classifications varies by sport, driven by registered schools and the 2.0 differential goal that the largest school in a class is no more than twice the smallest (with Class 1 protected by a percentage cap). They outline how enrollment rank-order, ties, and efforts to keep differentials similar across classes shape class cut lines. The episode then explains district assignment using numerical balance (district sizes differ by no more than one) and geographic representation, noting ripple effects from small enrollment shifts, travel realities, and staff review to ensure consistency.
