This is from a guy that used to work on the issue and looks pretty close to what the real deal might be. Smoaky was kind enough to post this from his friend.
I received the following information from Robert Barrett, and he loved working these numbers. Based on information Smoaky.com and other sources, he's come up with a potential model for the February, 2008 Reclassification.

Smoaky,
The UIL Realignment subject was very important to me before I retired. A friend contacted me with data form your website and data that he had accumulated. He asked me to apply the UIL policy to this data. I thought you might enjoy the reading.
By the way a fellow from Hughes Springs and I presented the current 2 to 1 policy the UIL Legislative Council in 1995. At the time we knew the UIL staff liked the plan due to its fairness; however, a couple of the people on the council ran inference against the plan because they enjoyed sitting at the top of their respective classifications. Justly they retired and impartiality prevailed.
Please review the attached.

I used the unofficial data form more than 250 Texas high schools. I was able to obtain enrollment data on most of the marginal enrollment (bubble) schools. I applied the UIL Reclassification and Realignment Policy and used the UIL’s long standing practice of using significant gaps in enrollment numbers as a dividing point. Examples of these gaps are in AAAA to AAAAA the jump is from 2034 to 2048, in AAA to AAA the jump is from 958 to 984, in AA to AAA the jump is form 419 to 428 and in A to AA are 198 to 201. Of course the gaps in the lower classes are smaller and subject to more deviation.
Schools electing to pay up a class will have a slight impact on the final numbers.
