I noticed that - if ISSMA uses these same numbers and keeps the same class cutoffs, Northview would definitely be in Class C. That’s huge….
Maybe someone familiar with which schools are expected to participate in ISSMA Open Class this year should compile the list and perform the 20-25-25-30 split to see how it plays out (then compare it to the reality when announced).
Using participants from the 2023 season split 20%-25%-25%-30% which is 18 A/22B/22C/27D...
