Rationale Behind the Draw

Allocation of Teams to Divisions

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.

Requests and Preferences

Although every attempt has been made to satisfy schools' requests and preferences they cannot always be met.
