Kansas Athletic Association Post Season rules for cooperative agreement teams in quasi-team/individual sports requires them to compete separately in the Post Season. They must also qualify on separate teams. See more detailed information below.
Sports this pertains to include:
Swimming & Diving
Cross Country
Golf
Gymnastics
Tennis
Track & Field
Wrestling
How will Bound handle these set ups:
Coop Host School
Set up the program and levels for the existing team by following the standard Coop Set up. This stays the same.
Coop IN School
Create the Program and Team
Then in the special name field put "school name Post Season Only"
check the use special name checkbox.
This will hopefully help other schools not schedule the "coop in" school during the regular season.
If someone is scheduling and searches the "coop in" school as an opponent the name will pop up with post season only - hopefully that will detour them from scheduling against them but it won't prohibit them.

Schools with Cooperative Agreements The KSHSAA policy requires that cooperative agreement teams in quasi-team/individual sports (including swimming & diving) compete separately at postseason (state) competition.
Leagues have the option of requiring cooperative teams to separate for league championship events.
RELAY EVENT state qualifications must be achieved during the regular season by individual schools. In other words, if 3 students from School A and 1 student from School B swim together and earn a state qualifying time in a relay event, it cannot be used as an entry qualifying time for either school.
For more information regarding cooperative agreements, be sure to review carefully the forms signed and agreed to by each school in a cooperative agreement.
