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.
