Pilot Program For Non-Public Advancement
[This portion of the article was updated March 21st after the NJSIAA's revision to original plans.]
NJSIAA's Revised Non-Public Plans
- We will have the North and South, A & B, Boys & Girls compete "head to head" like a "normal" group meet. A Non-Public A and Non-Public B Championship rather than by Sectional.
- We will score the group meet first, award medals to the top 6 in each event. The top THREE in each event for each Group will auto advance just like the Public locations. Then we go to the nine wild cards from the location merge.
- We will crown 4 Group Team Champions (Non-Public A Boys, Non-Public A Girls, Non-Public B Boys, Non-Public B Girls.
- We will then score the Sectional meet based on the performance from the Group meet.
- We will award medals to the top 6 scorers in each event from the pulled sectional results.
- We will crown 8 Sectional Team Champions based on those results.
