How about a little competition for the LL, L, M, and S fans regarding the final pre-Class tournament rankings? One idea is to see which Class rankings most accurately reflect the post Class tournament results? For example 14 x 6 is 84 total spots to fill per Class.
Who will have the highest accuracy re: rankings? LL, L, M or S? I suggest as long as the person is ranked in the top 6, and finishes in the top 6 then that counts as an accurate prediction. Anyone who is listed in the top 6 and does not finish in the top six counts as a failed prediction. The highest percentage of the 84 predicted spots wins.
Love it. I'm in! Feeling good about my Class L rankings. Lets say all rankings cut off at the end of day, Wednesday, February 19th. That is plenty of time to update for the conference tournaments.
One suggestion. How about 3 points for picking the winner correctly, 2 points for picking a finalist correctly and a point for picking a placer correctly. So if wrestler A is ranked 3rd, but makes the finals, you get 1 point for correctly having him ranked. If you had him 2nd, you get 2 points for correctly identifying a finalist and if you had him ranked 1st, 3 points. A little weighting for getting the finalists correct. But I'm easy either way.
Let's hear from the other primary rankers? I am hoping others who follow this site will help the primary people responsible for the rankings by putting in their two cents. The best Class Ranker can get some kind or prize or reward for their
great skills and insights into HS wrestling talents. If not, they will still have bragging rights.
Bragging rights is all I need. And oh yes, i will brag (if I win).
It looks like the other Rankers do not even want the challenge.
I'm In for LL's here. Are we not including taking honorable mentions into account at all then?
I think leaving them out makes sense. Otherwise there would have to be an agreement from all 4 Rankers as to how many HMs to have included for each weight.
