UIL Referendum Ballot Results

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AUSTIN, TX? Conference 1A schools participating in 11-Man football will be

split into two divisions prior to the season, after a vote of 1A school

superintendents across the state. The results of the University

Interscholastic League referendum ballot sent to school superintendents are

in, and have been approved by the Commissioner of Education.

By a margin of 203 to 65, school superintendents voted to divide Conference

1A football into two divisions prior to starting the season, as is done in

6-Man football. Starting with the 2010-2012 alignment period, schools in

Conference 1A 11-Man football will be divided into two divisions, with the

largest enrollment schools comprising Division I and the remaining schools

comprising Division II. Conference 1A 11-Man football will consist of 32

districts, with approximately 16 districts in Division I and 16 districts in

Division II. Each district will advance two teams to the playoffs.

Currently, each district advances three teams to the playoffs, with the

largest enrollment school from each district playing in Division I playoffs

and the two remaining schools advancing to the Division II playoffs.

Additionally, Reclassification and Realignment policies for 6-Man football

will be modified to allow schools participating in 6-Man football to

calculate and submit enrollment figures based on any one of four formulas.

Currently, 6-Man football schools must submit their figures based on

enrollment for grades 9-12.

2A-3A will vote in June and 4A-5A in Oct.

So the way I figure it, the basics are that if this is voted in by the larger schools later on, then there will actually be 10 classifications in Texas.

[KFDM COOP]

From 1A through 5A there will be a Big School Bracket and Small School, same number of Classifications.
