For each win from a "non-boundaried" school IHSA will add one full point to the number for 2016....so looks like BMac will make it 2.65 for now

Geez lighten up Francises
Edgy, maybe you can answer this question for me. Obviously I'm new to this board, and I have never understood exactly how the multiplier works. If there is another board where this is explained, just point me in that direction. That being said,
When my daughter enrolled at BMac, there were 384 students. That year they were placed in 4a.
Last year my son enrolled at Provi, with student enrollment being just short of 1200, I think, and they were 7a.
When you say they add 2.65, what does that mean, and how the heck are teams like JCA 5a almost always in the same class?
Thanks!
Mike

No - close.
1.65 is automatic multiplier for open enrolling schools. Additionally, should an OE school reach the finals two years in a row, they are additionally moved up one class.
Example: Althoff's 383 kids multiplied by 1.65. They got whipped in the finals this year and if they play in the 4a finals next year, that means the following year they would be moved to 5a to account for their success.

Okay, but I thought what you just described was the Success Factor which is already in place. Looking at Edge's post, it sounds like there is now something new that adds full points to the multiplier.
Actually I think Loyola should be playing one of the other top non-boundaried schools... Montini, Naz, or Phillips.Got it! And Loyola gets bumped up to 9A
But not Phillips. They have geographical boundaries and a true enrollment of 559. If you want to transfer into Phillips, you have to pack up and move. Here is the IHSA enrollment page. The no boundary schools have the multiplied number in the rightmost column. Now you see why Simeon always leads the state in number of D1 BB recruits - unstoppable.

Wow! And they are in a lower class, I assume. The Wolves won't be far behind though
