It's based on total enrollment, but the numbers are different between sports and between girls and boys in same sport. The B/C cutoff for boys is 734 while for girls it is 775. Not sure why but assume it takes into account boy/girl ratio on a statewide level as well as the difference in participation rates between boys and girls and the various sports.

I'm sure it's all very complicated, and I imagine there is that one person up in Albany entering numbers in a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet that nobody really understands.

Lotus 1-2-3 LOL they are also using typewriters and dial up
