here , this is a typical class , class 2A
all the schools are roughly the same size , then they are broken down into Disticts , mostly by location
you start the season playing two games against two teams not in your districst , those game don't count when it comes to the playoffs , then you play each team in your district , the top two teams make the playoffs , depending on the number of schools in each class , they may add 2-4 at large schools to round off the playoff fields , the highest seeded team plays the lowest , and so forth
there is no moving up or down during the season , or the playoffs
they reevaluate school sizes every three years , so , what class your in , your in it for at least three years , Period
moving from one class to another during the season or playoffs would be unheard of here
