let's just hope there isn't a roller dq this year for my school.

Anyone know when Division A/AA will be posted?

No, but I would just base it off of last years list as I don't think much will change.

Probably true. Judging from earlier posts, beaker6 is most concerned about B division. I think new entrant Quest is going in at AA - they finished 3rd at Neuqua, looked almost identical to the second place team, and finished above other teams that are usually AA. Of last year's AA teams, Lisle, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Glencoe, Bryan, and Our Lady of Mount Carmel didn't qualify this year.

Replacing them in AA will be Woodland, Quest, and presumably three other schools. Volta, maybe. Frederick, maybe. Hannah Beardsley, maybe. or possibly Rockford Christian. I don't think there's much data available to sort between these schools.

I forgot what the difference is...

AA is for the better teams and A is for the newer teams.

AA is for the better teams and A is for the newer teams.

Partially true. AA and A is more dependent on school size. AA for larger schools and A for smaller schools. After that, they add the smaller schools to AA based on their State results. Ex: my team is small yet in AA.

If your team only has gone to state for one year, is it possible to be placed in the AA division?

Probably not but in theory, if you place top two or first overall depending on how many teams your state brings to nats you can still qualify for nats because it is the top scoring team(s) that go to nats overall.
