WSC scheduling rules require 2 Gold/Silver crossover games, and playing everyone in your division. With divisions of 7 schools and a 10 game season, this leaves 1 opportunity for a WSC member to test themselves outside the “echo chamber”.
This fall (I believe every season, but can’t confirm definitively) those tests are only available in Week 1 on August 27-28.
Just looking at WSC Silver, Glenbard West will play Grandville, MI, who appears to be a good team; Hinsdale Central will play Naperville Central; York will play Schaumburg; DGN will play Hoffman Estates; Proviso West will play Wauconda. OPRF and Lyons haven’t posted their schedule on 8to18.
HCs two crossover match-ups for the next two years (Home and Away) are Proviso East and Hinsdale South. HS/HC is played every year as a natural D86 match-up, which is understandable.
Is this type of scheduling rule common in the larger conferences? In my opinion, it really hurts the top teams in the conference.
