These invitational continued until 1990 when ASAA set up a qualifying process for the three conferences (Cook Inlet, Railbelt, and Northern Lights) to send teams to an official Alaska State Tournament. involves quarterfinals with the top four teams in each conference advancing to the semifinals that are hosted by ASAA. Winners advance to the State Championships the next week. In 2011, the ASAA board approved the creation of one more division, the Medium Schools division, in preparation for the new classification starting in 2012-13 school year. Then as more smaller schools started football programs, a fourth conference called The Greatland Conference was formed in 1997 with four schools (Nikiski, Seward, Glennallen, and Houston). The top two teams in that conference played each other for an unofficial “Greatland State Championship”. In 2000, there was a reshuffling of teams into a Large Schools Division and a Small Schools Division. Teams with enrollments of 850 or less were now classified as “small schools” and a new state championship was held with the winners of the semi-finals of the Northern Lights and the Greatland Conferences. Presently, there are 31 schools in Alaska with football programs grouped into five conferences based on school size. In 2005, Juneau moved from the Cook Inlet to the Railbelt Conference as the Cook Inlet was adding two new schools (South Anchorage and Eagle River.) Barrow is the most northernmost school to start a football program. They played a non-conference schedule in 2006 and then entered the Greatland Conference in 2007 as a varsity team. In 2008, Houston moved from the Greatland to the Northern Lights Conference as their enrollment had increased to over 400 students making them a 4A school. And in 2009, Thunder Mountain (Juneau) started football joining the newly formed Southeast Conference along with Sitka and Ketchikan. In 2008, the small schools expanded playoffs to include quarter-finals.
