Cross-Country Scheduling Process
Schools are assigned number (1-20) by random draw. If 21 teams, two schools shall share the same schedule, and only score against each other in their first meet of the season.
Schedule is created by using a Plug in Chart (Team scheduling grid).
Schedule is first adjusted to make sure Block # 1 does not have any meets with great divisional championship significance. Schools are reassigned numbers, and then teams are "plugged" in to the remaining Blocks(2-6).
Meet sites are determined by a random draw, except meet # 3 in each block, which is assigned to Mendon East. This insures that every team will run on the County Coaches’ Invite course at least once. This is necessary due to the Coaches’ Invite determining All County status.
A table of meet sites is made to determine if any teams are at a single site 3 or 4 times. If so, rearrange as best as possible to try to get all teams at no site more than twice, or at least the fewest schools possible having 3 meets at a single site.
Assign Host School duties. Every team, except Web Site Master, must host l meet, and no more than 2 meets.
• Take geography into consideration as much as possible.
• Try not to assign schools host duties if the meet has Divisional significance. (This can not always be done!)
