Before we get to the polls, I am introducing a new feature:
STANDINGS
The request has been made and has now been answered. Here are the badminton standings—from games I have received. The only “true” conferences are St. Paul, Minneapolis and EMAC (Eastern MN Athletic Conference). The EMAC is made up primarily of charter schools. With Eagle Ridge and Prairie Seeds on the outside, I have added them to that category—again neither is technically part of the EMAC. In fact Prairie Seeds has yet to play a contest this year. I also have created the Suburban Conference. This is not a real thing, but for ease of grouping and quick reference it makes sense. Most of these schools will not face each other during the year, but some are making the effort.
