The Central Mass. Athletic Conference (CMAC) is the newest High School sports league in the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association. The conference is the result of the Inter-High League, Southern Worcester County League, Dual Valley Conference, Colonial Athletic League, and Central Mass. Conference combining to create a super conference. The conference includes 34 Public, Vocational, Charter, and Private schools from the Worcester County and Middlesex County. The newly created conference is a member of the 2nd district of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association's nine districts, being the only athletic league assigned to the district.[1]

The conference was created for schools to do better under the new MIAA state tournament format; allowing them to more easily schedule stronger opponents. This is done by creating alignments based on power rankings from recent seasons at the beginning of each year.[2][3]
