Our State does it.

In Illinois the IHSA does it. They have a system of ratings from coaches and officials and factor it with other things like ranking and years of experience. There are is a 30 point number system that is used, but is not the final say in what you get. Local Associations have little to no say over who gets what and who does not get anything. They are allowed to submit a Top 15 list, but that only has so much weight. Schools can submit a Top 15 list, which will weight more if several schools put you on the their list.

Basically you advance by accomplishing certain levels first. The first level is a Regional, then Sectional, then Super-Sectional, then downstate at the State Finals. You will not advance usually if you have never done a Regional the year before or Sectional depending on what level you have achieved. It takes some years to do this and just does not happen to you.

There is much more to it, but that is very basic information.

Peace
