For years, one of the biggest controversies in Arkansas high school athletics is the issue of private schools and the advantages some may have when it comes to competition. The Arkansas Activities Association has released a plan for its governing body (representatives of member schools) to vote on titled the “Competitive Equity Factor.”
If approved, the plan would create a system for private schools to move up or down a classification depending on their performance over the span of the previous four seasons. According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, the formula awards points to a team based on its results in a given year. A winning conference record would earn the team one point, a state playoff win is worth two points, a finals appearance would be three points, and a championship is worth four.
