The WIAA Board of Control has approved two baseball recommendations and one track and field coaches’ request as well as created a competitive balance subcommittee at its October meeting.
The first baseball change has the Board adopt language requiring seed meetings to be conducted in-person or via real-time electronic means. Seed meetings conducted by email and fax were eliminated. The second recommendation supported was seeding the Divisions 2, 3 and 4 brackets in half sectionals (including two regionals) beginning in 2023.
The one track and field recommendation advanced and approved by the Board extends the sunset clause, originally approved by the Board in 2017, for determining divisional placements. This will provide one more year of data collection, which lost a year of compiling data in 2020 with the cancellation of the season and the perceived unique participation numbers in 2021.
