On August 23, 2010, the AIA Executive Board approved the Individual Sports Divisions for the 2010-2011 school year, as well as modifications to the AIA Power Rankings System.  Please see the below link for the divisions for individual sports by enrollment or alphabetically in each division, which are also available on the Tournament Guides page.  Cross country sectionals will be posted by Sept. 17, 2010.

Power Rankings Formula Changed

ALL REGULAR SEASON GAMES (EXCLUDING INVITATIONAL GAMES) VERSUS AIA MEMBER SCHOOLS COUNT FOR POWER RANKINGS!!!

If an AIA member school is scheduled to play a game that was previously considered to be non-counting and it is against an AIA member school, that game counts.  This includes any game that may have been scheduled to help another school fill its schedule.

The only NON-COUNTING GAMES are those played against Associate member schools, non-AIA member schools, i.e. out of state schools, and invitational games.  Those games can still be played, but will have no bearing on your power ranking.

See below link for complete information.
