CAS Rugby 2023

Arguing about which schools would be in which tiers misses the point, with respect. How it would be applied to a particular school at a particular time isn't the issue. And no doubt it would change over time. Schools would move up and down over time. To say it's a bad idea because Shore might be strong again some day is entirely missing the point.

The point you miss is quite simple.
Barker can’t put up competitive teams for games at any time slot apart from 3.15pm …. You advocate for a tiered system but don’t seem to understand that you wouldn’t fit into the tiers where you expect. The GPS schools are interested in aggregate results over the day. Of course the 1st XV is the pinnacle but it is not the only thing. It probably comes
From the bigger boarding populations and the larger number of country kids but you will never jam the social traditions of the rugby season into a tiered system in order to satisfy the ego of some team put together for the final 2 years of school.

I quite clearly said Barker would be tier 2. Multiple times.

I think a tier system should consider consider each team within a program on its own merits and not the entire program. For example a school might have a strong 1st XV and 2nd XV could place teams in tier 1 and 2, giving there 2nds the chance to play against 1st XV side which are at a far more similar level then other 2nds teams. Why should the tier system stop at 1st xv and not be multi layered to give every student more opportunities? Yes it’s difficult but is it worth it for a more competitive and enjoyable experience which is the point of school sports
