I think the biggest aspect of all of this, that is often forgotten is open enrollment. Just because these new transfer rules are in place, doesn't mean that these kids can literally go wherever they want. A lot of kids won't be able to go to the bigger schools, simply because mom and dad won't move. I don't think you'll see a whole bunch of kids relocating just to play sports. At least no more than already did before this rule.

Sheridan has seen a little of this in recent years, due to open enrollment. However, there is a concern for them as well. One student, in particular, who is in middle school, plays girls basketball. She is being courted by HSE right now. REALLY hope she stays at Sheridan.

Sheridan is just sitting here waiting for Westfield, Carmel, HSE, Zionsville, etc. kids to call us home.

Thank you for that clarification.

Undue influence doesn't mean that the athlete was encouraged or incentivized to move. It means that they are making the choice outside of their own free will or without adequate attention to the consequences. I don't think parents or coaches are going to start dragging players to their program, without the consent of the kids.

I absolutely believe that the intent and wording is meant as "you're in our school and you have a pulse" Not making Varsity doesn't mean you didn't have the opportunity to do so. The opportunity was there, but the ability wasn't.

What does yellow mean?

Yes. South Putnam has turf.

This is pulled directly from the Board of Directors minutes, regarding the rule. 19-3.2 First Time Transfer Between Member Schools a. Students who transfer between Member Schools for the first time during the first six (6) semesters after their initial high school enrollment will have full eligibility, provided: (1.)The transfer occurs on or before the Start of Practice Date of the sports season in which the transfer occurs; and (2.)The transfer is not the result of undue influence (rules 20-1 and 20-2, past link). b. Students who transfer during the first six (6) semesters, having had the opportunity to participate in three (3) seasons of eligibility of a sport, will be subject to a Thirty (30) day non-competition period or half (1/2) the Maximum Number of Contests, whichever is less, in each sport in which they participated during or after their third year of eligibility, during the Three-hundred Sixty-five (365) days preceding the transfer.

After looking at the Predictor Tool, I think the "normalized" result is what is causing some disparage. There is some sort of clear recency bias in the numbers. And yes, when using Sagarin, these numbers will always be skewed to benefit the larger schools.

I believe I read somewhere that Juniors are allowed to transfer up until the first day of 1st Practice. I could be wrong though.

Because AC moved up due to enrollment, not Success Factor. The confusion was caused by them technically earning a Success Factor bump at the same time that their enrollment moved them up.

Enrollment classifications are done every two years. Success Factor is a rolling two-year cycle. I'm not sure that can be made any more clear.

Success Factor is a rolling two-year rotation now.
