About those new leagues in the rankings...

Some of you have had questions about the new leagues in the rankings. I think all the answers you need are here.

The new "leagues" are 2A Boys State XC, 2A Girls State XC, 3A Boys State XC, etc. They were created for the purpose of making it simple to do virtual meets and cross country team scoring in advance of the state meet. With these new leagues, all the teams that did not qualify for state are eliminated so that there's a whole lot less clutter to wade through when you do virtual meets.

2A Boys State XC contains all the teams, and only the teams, that qualified for the 2A Boys race in state cross country. 4A Girls State XC contains all the teams, and only the teams, that qualified for the 4A Girls race in state cross country. And so on...

Individuals who qualified for state are not included in these "leagues." I don't have a way of aggregating just individuals to include in rankings. Even if I did have a way, I doubt I'd have time...

So that you all know, these leagues will not be removed after the state cross country meet. It took enough time to create all these leagues that I'm not going to go to that kind of bother with each new year. I will, however, update the teams in those leagues when a new set of teams has qualified for state next year. Right now, though, I can't think of a use for those leagues outside of the week leading up to state cross country.

Note that for 2A leagues you must also set the scorers to three rather than the usual five.
