BE IT RESOLVED that the Bylaw CLASSIFICATION OF SCHOOLS be adjusted as follows. The largest 16 teams after the 5A schools have been declared will make up the 4A category. Teams would go directly to a regional based on rankings from the SHSAA, negating the need for a conference, saving the SHSAA money. Based on the 2013-14 numbers, this would mean the following girls’ teams would compete in 4A: By population: Carlton – 519 Swift Current – 379 St. Mary – 342 Estevan – 321 Weyburn – 277 Yorkton Regional – 274 North Battleford Comp – 261 Moose Jaw Peacock – 249
Regina Johnson – 229 Balgonie – 227 Meadow Lake – 221 John Paul II – 199 Melfort – 179 Warman 165 Moose Jaw Central – 161 Regina Luther – 153
The following teams would be eliminated from the category and move down to the 3A category: Lumsden – 142 Humboldt– 134 MJ Vanier – 133 Yorkton Sacred Heart – 132
Martensville – 132 Tisdale – 119 Melville – 117 Notre Dame – 82
“Smaller” teams now in the 4A category would feel much more comfortable playing against teams closer to their given population. The categories now exist at (teams in a division): 1A – 40
2A – 36
3A – 26
4A – 25
5A – 17
This resolution would adjust the categories to the following number of teams in each division: 1A – 42 2A – 40 3A – 29 4A – 16 5A – 17 In the boys division the following would happen: By population: Carlton – 561 Swift Current – 394 St. Mary – 370 Estevan – 339 Yorkton Regional – 325 Moose Jaw Peacock – 283 Warman – 211 RG Johnson – 200
Weyburn -272 Balgonie - 251 North Battleford Comp - 248 Marion Graham – 244 Meadow Lake – 221 John Paul II – 220 Moose Jaw Vanier – 167 Melfort – 162
Teams dropping from the category would include: MJ Central – 157 Martensville – 146 Notre Dame – 142 Melville – 136
Tisdale – 132 Yorkton Sacred Heart – 127 Nipawin – 124 Eagleview - 118
Historically, the teams remaining in the category have been competitive. Number 16 Melfort has defeated the number one team by population, Carlton. The categories now exist at the following number of teams: 1A - 42 2A - 34 3A - 29 4A - 24
5A – 20
This proposal would see them adjusted to the following teams at each category: 1A - 42 2A - 38 3A - 33 4A - 16 5A - 20 North Central District .................................... DEFEATED SHSAA

BE IT RESOLVED that the Bylaw CLASSIFICATION OF SCHOOLS be adjusted as follows. The largest 16 teams after the 5A schools have been declared will make up the 4A category. Teams would go directly to a regional based on rankings from the SHSAA, negating the need for a conference, saving the SHSAA money. Based on the 2013-14 numbers, this would mean the following girls’ teams would compete in 4A: By population: Carlton – 519 Swift Current – 379 St. Mary – 342 Estevan – 321 Weyburn – 277 Yorkton Regional – 274 North Battleford Comp – 261 Moose Jaw Peacock – 249
Regina Johnson – 229 Balgonie – 227 Meadow Lake – 221 John Paul II – 199 Melfort – 179 Warman 165 Moose Jaw Central – 161 Regina Luther – 153
The following teams would be eliminated from the category and move down to the 3A category: Lumsden – 142 Humboldt– 134 MJ Vanier – 133 Yorkton Sacred Heart – 132
Martensville – 132 Tisdale – 119 Melville – 117 Notre Dame – 82
“Smaller” teams now in the 4A category would feel much more comfortable playing against teams closer to their given population. The categories now exist at (teams in a division): 1A – 40
2A – 36
3A – 26
4A – 25
5A – 17
This resolution would adjust the categories to the following number of teams in each division: 1A – 42 2A – 40 3A – 29 4A – 16 5A – 17 In the boys division the following would happen: By population: Carlton – 561 Swift Current – 394 St. Mary – 370 Estevan – 339 Yorkton Regional – 325 Moose Jaw Peacock – 283 Warman – 211 RG Johnson – 200
Weyburn -272 Balgonie - 251 North Battleford Comp - 248 Marion Graham – 244 Meadow Lake – 221 John Paul II – 220 Moose Jaw Vanier – 167 Melfort – 162
Teams dropping from the category would include: MJ Central – 157 Martensville – 146 Notre Dame – 142 Melville – 136
Tisdale – 132 Yorkton Sacred Heart – 127 Nipawin – 124 Eagleview - 118
Historically, the teams remaining in the category have been competitive. Number 16 Melfort has defeated the number one team by population, Carlton. The categories now exist at the following number of teams: 1A - 42 2A - 34 3A - 29 4A - 24
5A – 20
