Brookside Christian: Division VII?

[ClayK]

SJS strikes again ...

Presumably, Brookside Christian is pretty bad in all those other sports that determine what division schools go in. If so, this is a perfect example of the weakness of the league base strategy Sac-Joaquin uses.

I’m guessing that Brookside would be moved up to Division V for postseason, but in NCS, I believe, if you're Division VI, you can’t compete for a state title. I’m not sure sure how this might work in postseason – maybe SJS will put divisions V, VI and VII together and take several teams for NorCals, or maybe they’ll take the champions of each division and try to get them an automatic berth. But each section only has four slots in each NorCal bracket, so I’m not sure how that would work.


Maybe RespectBB knows how this will work …

Brookside Christian is a D5 school but D4 in girls basketball. Their football team played for the D5 State Championship 2010 and lost to Bishop'so for La Jolla for socal. The biggest think about Brookside Christian 85% of the kids go to college on athletic or academic scholarship. Most of the girls basketball in up in D1 low or high for free. The boys basketball always in up in NorCal playoffs just a the girls basketball team does. They made to NorCal finials 4 last 7 years. This school does well in the being a small school of 130 high school kids. The tuition is the lowest around $22,000 for 4 years. Just think as it is an investment will a return of $180,000 for a college scholarship. That's Brookside Christian as a whole.

It looks pretty clear that Brookside Christian is D7.

So while doing a story for SportStars, I finally learned Brookside Christian's situation this postseason. And not surprisingly, given the intricacies of section playoff processes, it's complicated.

The bottom line, though, is this: Brookside Christian will play in the Division I playoffs inthe Sac-Joaquin section for the next two seasons – unless it is in the Open once again.

It works like this: If a team makes the NorCal Open Division, then it is automatically assigned to Division I for the next two years, regardless of enrollment, graduation or injury. If Brookside Christian makes the semifinals of the Division I tournament, it will remain Division I for at least two more years.

If Brookside Christian does not make the Division I semifinals for two seasons in a row, it will drop one division down to Division II. And then the same rules about semifinals and playoff appearances apply again.

If, however, Brookside Christian does not finish in the top three in its Division VII league, it would not qualify for the Division I playoffs, and would drop to Division II next year. That is about as likely as the Kings finishing ahead of the Warriors -- maybe even less likely.

As long as Brookside reaches the semis of DI, it stays DI; if it doesn't get that far for two straight seasons, it drops to DII.

As someone said in a thread a little earlier, wow… just wow.

That seems more complicated than it has to be. I was against the CCS system when it was introduced, but now I think it is the best way to go. At the very least, it is more simple to follow.

I need to go back to school to figure out the SJS system.

BC is getting hosed by being put in D1 for 2 more years.
I don't have a problem bumping a team up a division if they have success, but all the way up to D1 seems a bit of an overreach to me. And if they don't finish in the top 3 in their league they ONLY get dropped to D2??? seriously??? seems to me in that particular situation/result, a move back to D5 makes more sense.

 

[ClayK]

I agree ... it makes little sense that Brookside is Open because of two or three girls, and then they graduate -- but the remaining girls have to play in D1 in postseason for at least two years.

And Brookside will make the playoffs, because they're in a D7 league, and they only need to finish in the top three to make postseason. But once they're in postseason, they're D1.

NCS does it a little differently but not necessarily better: If you get 24 points in section playoffs in three years (15 for a section title, 10 for runner up, 6 for the semis, 3 for the quarters, 1 for getting in), then you go up a division. Promoted teams only will drop back down a division after three years if they fail to reach the 24-point threshold (which is pretty hard to do, really) -- but it still takes three years.

But teams that were placed by enrollment in a division, as all of them were to begin with, must stay there no matter how poorly they do unless a team moves into the division, and they a) haven't made the section playoffs in three years, and b) have the lowest enrollment of those teams that did not make the playoffs.

Goofiness abounds ...
