You stated you were doing a 5A game. If I remember right, and it has nothing to do with your OP, isn't 1A the largest school classification in Idaho?

Used to be that A-1 was the largest class and A-4 the smallest. They changed to the current system (A-1D1->5A, A-1D2->4A, A-2->3A, etc.) in 2001, stating a desire to be parallel to neighboring states' systems.

We have a similar law being proposed here as well but it focuses on how long the player stays out of the game or what procedures must be followed to come back. I do not find this redundant as rules will change and the laws may not. Rules of the game are not laws of the land. I am not saying that I would like such a law, but I certainly can understand why something is being constructed to cover this on some level. Often laws like this do not consider the application and only want to make a law to cover something. I think the law should apply to the schools and coaches as they are the ones ultimately responsible for their kids. Officials often have no idea what a player might be experiencing as it relates to a concussion.

Amusing as NV is changing next year from the 4A, 3A, 2A, 1A system to D1, D2, D3, D4. This will match how CA does it.

Wisconsin goes from D1 to D5.
