Kinda. CA divisions start with school size, but then there is a formula that moves schools based upon recent performance in the regular season and playoffs.
The Open Division is for the best schools that year regardless of school size. So you could have a 4000+ student population public school competing against a 100 student population private school. Open Division brackets are not single elimination and all teams are guaranteed a spot in the State Playoffs.
Here's the
press release for Chino Hills' area, the Southern Section. If you're super curious,
here's how the divisions are broken down now.
