Number of teams divided by number of qualifying. 68 teams / 20 spots = 3.4. So one qualifying team per 3.4 teams. 26 / 3.4 = 7.65 round up to 8.Looking at D2, the boys seem to be pretty balanced. The girls, on the other hand is confusing to me. GlenOak has 26 teams and 8 spots, Madison 23 teams and 6 spots, Lorain has 19 teams and 6 spots. Madison has 3 less teams than GlenOak but 2 less spots, 4 more teams than Lorain but the same amount of spots. Why is that?
This doesn't really answer your question, but technically, it's 20 teams at Madison, 19 at Lorain, and 22 at GlenOak. 3 of the schools at Madison and 4 at GlenOak are listed as having individuals only. A few of those designations will change as the season progresses. Some teams may not have even begun meeting yet to know if they have enough runners to be considered a team.Looking at D2, the boys seem to be pretty balanced.

Numbers between boys and girls will not be equal at districts because last year there was 563 boys teams and only 472 girls teams across the state.I knew I should have gone to that Math class in college instead of playing another hand of Euchre!!
Which brings back to another topic of why 20 girls teams and 19 boys teams at Regional in D2 or 14 and 13 in D3? Why does it not come out to be an equal number? Isn't there some Title IX violation in there?
I did not catch that. I just assumed that the "I" were taken out of the count. It does say schools and not teams though. Usually that number reflects full team numbers and not schools. Of course the only one I took the time to count was the only one that did not have any "I" designations, so I assumed the numbers being used were for the schools with teams.This doesn't really answer your question, but technically, it's 20 teams at Madison, 19 at Lorain, and 22 at GlenOak. 3 of the schools at Madison and 4 at GlenOak are listed as having individuals only.
