HOW LEAGUES ARE DIVIDED INTO A, B, C CLASSIFICATIONS
(Doc: CCS Baseball league)

Classification

These alignments do not necessary apply for all sport. They might in some sports. The leagues, whose teams have the best records and best teams are in the A league. A league might move up or down in classification the following season by how well their teams did. When a team plays other than CCS teams, an opponent who won 75 percent of their games is considered A league. Any other out of CCS opponent is considered a B team. C teams are normally smaller schools, but not necessarily.

Some leagues will have from two to three divisions. The Blossom Valley Athletic League and Mission Trails Athletic League (MTAL) have three divisions. Santa Clara Valley Athletic League (SCVAL) and the Peninsula Athletic league (PAL) have two divisions.

Each league’s top two teams are automatically in the playoffs. Any other team in the league must turns in their record with the number of points earned. Playing an A league team and losing is still worth one point. Teams are motivated to play better teams to earn more points to become eligible for the CCS Playoffs. Losses against any other classification is worth no points.
