Wondering the composition of H and I (based on the fact that about half of I is reportedly moving to J)... |
I: Kenmont Potomac Woods Poolesville Carderock Springs Potomac Glen Glenmont Kenmont and Poolesville remaining in I. |
When do the MCSL divisions release to the public. Last year they were out about now. |

What happened? |
Data are the 5 A meet results for each team. They are on the league web site. |
No I believe they use the middle time for each meet entry over the 5 weeks to create entry times for every swim in the virtual meet (ie first place 12 and U IM swimmer; 2nd and 3rd places as well). So you have to have the results from all 5 meets to create the entries. They then use those times to run the virtual meets. Then they use the win loss record of the virtual meets to create divisions. |
What about divisionals? That should count too, right? |
From the Reach for the Wall article - Teams are placed in divisions each year based on a computer swim-off using times from the previous season. That is, MCSL (i) creates one virtual team for each MCSL team based on the median times from all five of that team’s dual meets the prior year, and then (ii) runs a virtual meet between every virtual team (similar to how Reach for the Wall runs virtual meets). The team with 90 wins (meaning their virtual team beat every other virtual team in the league) is the top seed of Division A. The team with no wins is the lowest seed in Division 0 (excluding new teams to the league). |
Times from Divisional’s have no impact as the divisions for the following year become public that day. |
