Rankings Input/Help/Suggestions

As we prepare the pre-season rankings, we realize there are many opinions on who can do what.  We appreciate all the help we can get and look forward to receiving it.  However, only half of the emails were worth reading. Some are not credible and have to be deleted.

We would like coaches, wrestlers, and fans to help us develop rankings. We need  people from different areas all over the state to help compile information from their respective areas to better improve the rankings. We encourage everyone to do so now and in the future. The Individual rankings are based on a number of criteria that includes: previous results, off season wrestling, and recommendations.  Please send ranking suggestions or comments to the ranking committee at: Report spelling errors or other comments/suggestions by clicking here.

Editors Note: Below is just a heads up to those wishing to send help regarding  rankings and would like their material considered seriously..  Don't be offended.  Thanks! (I think some of it is pretty funny!) In the past, only half of the emails were worth reading. Some are not credible and have to be deleted.

Rankings are done at weight wrestlers have wrestled so far, not weight wrestlers plan on making.

Emails are usually not helpful if they are similar to the following:

-"How is my kid not ranked, he beat little Johnny last weekend in Shaker Heights?"

(Perhaps you could inform us whom he has defeated instead of assuming we know.)

-"How is little Johnny ranked behind little Tommy when little Johnny beat little Tommy this year?"

(see previous answer)

-"You guys are terrible at rankings"

(really?)

-"Hi,
I was just wondering how often you update the rankings or what the criteria is to give someone a rank. I am only asking this because looking at some of the kids that are "ranked", I know of others that are much better."

(Rankings are done by a group of people that compile emails sent from the coaches, wrestlers, and fans that have critiqued the past rankings.  Also, our staff continues to look at results and compare how wrestlers fare against each other.)

-"Smithville is a much better dual meet team than Caddyville.  Better be ranked this week."

(OK and how are they better? That would really help us a lot, and is that a threat at the end? ;0)  )

-"Little Johnny is a stud, how is he not ranked?"

(OK well, how good is he at wrestling, who has he defeated, what tournaments has he won, how is he a stud?)

-"Little Johnny’s cousin Andy is awesome, he would have beat the 1^st ranked guy had he not been hurt, and he would have beat the 2^nd ranked guy had he not had gotten caught, and he would have beat the 3^rd ranked guy had time not expired, and he would have beat the 4^th ranked guy had the ref not screwed him over."

(Excuses are non credible, so don’t bother.)

-"Please take my kid off of the rankings, he hasn’t proven himself."

(Sorry but your kid is good, real good)
