Structure
The government of the CIAC consists the Board of Control, which contains 5 officers, 2 representatives from each of the 3 classes, 3 members of the eligibility committee, and one assistant principal.
Any public or private school with Connecticut Board of Education approval may become a member. Member schools may play regular season contests with other member schools, and in addition may enter state tournaments in the 27 CIAC managed sports.
The CIAC breaks down the 27 sports into three seasons: fall, winter, and spring.
At the conclusion of each season, the CAS hosts a wide array of tournaments for each sport. Every qualified school is divided into classes, based on size of school, and then play single elimination. Some sports however, like cross country, track and golf, have only one tournament day for each class size. Golf, for example, has four mens classes and one women's class that each play at a separate location around the state. The host courses for the tournament are Blue Fox Run, Fairview Farms, Timberlin and Crestbrook Park Golf Course.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Agnosticism is a perfectly respectable and tenable philosophical position; it is not dogmatic and makes no pronouncements about the ultimate truths of the universe. It remains open to evidence and persuasion; lacking faith, it nevertheless does not deride faith. Atheism, on the other hand, is as unyielding and dogmatic about religious belief as true believers are about heathens. It tries to use reason to demolish a structure that is not built upon reason.”
—Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
