INDIANAPOLIS – During its recent final meeting of the 2014‐15 school year, the IHSAA Executive Committee approved the sectional reassignment of several baseball and softball teams for the next two seasons.

Due to IHSAA By‐Law 2‐5 (Tournament Success Factor), three baseball teams and three softball teams earned enough points in the previous two school years to play up one classification in the next two school years. Others have dropped down a class while others have been reassigned within their own class. The updated sectional assignments for 2015‐16 and 2016‐17 can be found here for baseball and softball.

The Tournament Success Factor is a system used to classify schools on a sport‐by‐sport basis based on a series of points accumulated during a specific two‐year window in state tournament competition.
