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:
“The verbal poetical texture of Shakespeare is the greatest the world has known, and is immensely superior to the structure of his plays as plays. With Shakespeare it is the metaphor that is the thing, not the play.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Each structure and institution here was so primitive that you could at once refer it to its source; but our buildings commonly suggest neither their origin nor their purpose.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When a house is tottering to its fall,
The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
