Here's what I found this morning:
I just did a cursory review of the 28 semi-final teams, and I mean a quick review. That said, it looks like 24 of the 28 remaining teams are public schools

I think you're right. I counted Hoban, Akron SVSM, Toledo CC, and Norwalk St.Paul. Looks like Competitive Balance actually works!!Steely Dan wrote: ↑Sun Nov 19, 2017 10:58 am I just did a cursory review of the 28 semi-final teams, and I mean a quick review.

. Someone else take a look and check my inventory, I may have missed one or two, however, this has to be the lowest total of private schools to make it this far in years. Too early to draw credible conclusions based on these results, but if this becomes the trend, perhaps the changes that OHSAA made to handling private schools in terms of divisional assignment are generating the desired effect. Just throwing it out there as something to ponder.

Almost every school in Ohio (the vast majority) practice open enrollment.
Agreed. Although, I'm sure after a couple of years that schools will adjust and it will be very similar to how it has always been.Orange and Brown wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 1:51 pm I think we should give it a few years and then look at it.

I think we will see numbers of private schools "decline" to try to make their numbers smaller in some way and that people will at least be able to see how many kids open enroll to public schools. Burg just beat us and we could look at the 25 CB number they have, but we don't really know what that means, they could all be band or soccer kids for all we know, they beat us end of story. There are some things about the formula that are not clear and it's not perfect, but it's a start.
I don't know enough about how it works. I know Johnstown does not have 6 open enroll kids on their roster. At the time it was released it was two a senior WR / Special teams player and a freshman. The senior I think moved into Johnstown after the season started I believe.svac83 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2017 4:25 pm55buckeyes98 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 10:31 pm I feel that making it tougher on private schools and teams with high CB numbers means it's working, but not perfect.

No you know they are football players. Because only football players are added in to competitive balance for football
Strictly for football reasons, I'm sure. Since every enrollment decision made at schools that win is decided entirely by its impact on football.Jolly P(irate) wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2017 6:09 amI heard Wheelersburg is shutting down open enrollment.
I’m sure you’re probably right in your first statement. Their CB # is 25. Not sure where they are exactly in terms on all around enrollment numbers. But I’m sure they are pretty close to D4.sapientia et veritas wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2017 7:57 amStrictly for football reasons, I'm sure.

I heard that JD was having a discussion just last week with Mr Walker over at Portsmouth Notre Dame that they have to keep the numbers down to stay in D7 and that it would be better to close the school than to move up to D6. Or so all the ignorant and hateful anti-private folks would have us believe. The stuff that is spewed in these kinds of threads about how private schools operate is downright comical at times.
Each open enrollment player on the roster is assigned a multiplier based on their Tier. Tier's are based on when the student enrolled in the school. So, a student that lives in the district with a parent/legal guardian is a Tier 0, which means they don't count toward a CB number. An open enrolled student that has attended since the 7th grade is Tier 1, which is a multiplier of 1, counts as 1 toward the CB number, and a student open enrolling after the 1st day of 7th grade is Tier 2, which is a multiplier of 2, counts as 2 toward the CB number. Overall, a Tier 2 would count as 3, as they are counted in the initial boys enrollment, then you add on the 2 for their multiplier for CB.55buckeyes98 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2017 9:01 pmI don't know enough about how it works.

They have been much more selective. They don’t take everyone.Jolly P(irate) wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2017 6:09 am On a side note, I heard Wheelersburg is shutting down open enrollment.
