1A and 2A will very rarely have a Chicago area team. And then, because of the sectional format, it would be nearly impossible to get more than one Chicago team through to the state semifinals. The format forces a downstate team, a central/western team, a city team, and a suburban team in the bigger classes. With 4A they might get an extra city or suburban team just because that’s where the biggest schools are. If they did a straight seeding, I suspect the Catholic league, western and northern suburban schools would dominate. It’s the same thing that is happening with football since they moved to a seeding for the top divisions.
