The following scale is to determine the correct division that your team should compete in: Gold Division (Varsity Div): This division is for the elite runners of any school classification. Limited to 7 runners per this division. This is the Championship Division.

Silver Division (Varsity Div): This division is for schools that occupy 598 students or more in grades 10-12, as in the case for Alabama schools: 6A-7A. Limited to 7 runners per this division.

Bronze Division (Varsity Div): This division is for schools that occupy 597 students or less in grades 10-12, as in the case for Alabama schools: 4A-5A. Unlimited runners per this division.

Green Division (Varsity Div): This division is for schools that occupy 278 students or less in grades 10-12, as in the case for Alabama schools: 1A-3A. Unlimited runners per this division.

Red Division (Varsity Div): This division is for 6A-7A schools (Alabama) (or 598 students or more in grades 10-12) that have registered their team's top 7 runners in the Gold Division and/or the Silver Division. This race is for your "B"/JV team, not JH. You may register runners in both the Gold and Silver Divisions and register your remaining runners in the Red Division.
