Rationale Behind the Draw

Within each grade, teams have been allocated to divisions based on:

•  school location (to minimise travel);

•  separation of teams from the same school into different divisions (unless travel would be excessive);

•  balancing into parallel divisions of approximately equal strength (assuming that most schools with multiple teams rank them with A as their strongest team, etc.);

•  other factors to help satisfy schools' requests and preferences, where possible.
