I may have the answer---relegation. Common in other countries with multi-tier/classes of sports. Perfect for KSHSAA with the six different classes. Rewards winners, punishes losers! The top winners of the lower tier plays the losers of the higher tier/class. If the lower tier winners win they move to the upper tier and the upper tier losers move down to the lower tier/class. 6A losers play the 5A winners-5A losers play the 4A winners-4A losers play the 3A winners-right on down the line. Relegate every year in all sports.

Solves our problems-the cream rises to the top and the dregs sink to the bottom. Could even put in a restriction that a school coud not be moved up or down more than one class--i.e., no 6A schools evenually in 4A, no 4A moved up to 6A, etc.

Hey, I like this!

Plus, will make the guys at KSHSAA earn their money!
