The TAPPS realignment process is completed, but UIL schools won't know their official new alignments until sometime next month. I can't wait to start making all the corrections, cause there's going to be a ton. Surprise

TAPPS info can be found here. Although the specific Track districts won't be made until mid-way through the school year, I'll be able to make some educated guesses, based upon past alignments and the general alignment PDFs.

UIL alignments have been made public. So, as soon as you open up '08 CC, I'll start making adjustments.

David, 

Just as a head's up, can you remove 6A from TAPPS for the 08-09 school year, as a part of the re-alignment was to return to just 5 divisions.

If you beat me to it, you can simply move all 6A schools into the 5A division and 5A schools into 4A, from there it will be an easier re-alignment process.

Thanks,

Andy

 Andy,

To maintain as much consistency in division association as possible, I will rename 6A to 5A, 5A to 4A, and then retire the existing 4A.  Does that sound like a good plan, or do you have another recommendation.  I assume I should do the same for XC and Track.

Also, the 08-09 alignments are up for both track and XC, so updates can be made.

Done.. let me know when the old 4A needs removed.  (You will have to manually merge it still)

The TAPPS realignment is for the most part completed. Once they finally publish the Track Districts for the spring, I'll be able to clean it up further.

I'll be tackling UIL next, but that might not happen until Labor Day weekend.

 

*Edited to add following:

David,

I believe I emptied out the 4A classification that was to be deleted, if not let me know.

Thanks,

Andy

Sorry, I guess I should have posted my response here, instead of in a new post.

The old 4A can be removed now, unless I overlooked a school.

The old 4A has been removed from XC.
