maligned Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Here are the official selection procedures for next year's event. Two important notes: 1. An early-round multiplier will now be used for all three classes (though the impact in 3A will be very minimal compared to the other classes...last year's automatic selections would have been the same, but a couple more deserving teams would have been involved in Wildcard voting). 2. COACHES: BE SURE TO READ THE UNDERCLASSMEN INJURY PROVISION. IF YOU HAVE A SOPHOMORE OR JUNIOR THAT WILL NOT WRESTLE SECTIONAL, BUT WHO REACHED SEMI-STATE OR FURTHER LAST YEAR, YOU CAN GET HIS POINTS FROM LAST YEAR. READ DETAILS BELOW. 3. Addendum approved January 25: A bonus point will be given for 5th place at regional and two bonus points will be given for 5th place at semi-state for all three classes. 4. Addendum approved January 25: New enrollment figures released by the IHSAA in February will determine the classification of the 104 teams per class. Scores will be UNOFFICIAL and classification assignments will be PROVISIONAL until those numbers are released. Scores will still be published week to week, but special notes for scores of teams near class cut-off lines will be included.

DOCUMENT CONTENTS: I. Number of Participating Schools (p. 1) II. Selection Procedure (p. 1) III. Base Scoring System (p. 2) IV. Adjustments to the Base Scoring System (p. 3-4) Appendix: List of Schools by Class (p. 4-5) I. NUMBER OF PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS A. Eight (8) schools will be selected from each of three classes (3A, 2A, and 1A) to participate in the Duals State Championship. B. For each class, one school will be invited as the top school from each of the four IHSAA individual semi-state locations (Merrillville, Fort Wayne, New Castle, Evansville). Additionally, four Wildcard schools will be selected as the next best four schools, regardless of location in the state. II. SELECTION PROCEDURE: The eight schools in each class will be selected according to the following four procedures: A. The top team from each class from each of the four semi-states will be selected and invited for the following season’s IHSWCA event based solely on points earned in the IHSAA individual state series (see Part III for scoring system). B. The first two Wildcard positions for each class will also be selected and invited to the event based solely on points earned in the individual tournament. C. The third Wildcard for each class will be chosen after the individual state finals by a Selection Committee vote from among 1) the highest scoring team not already selected and 2) any teams within 30 points (classes 3A & 2A) or 35 points (1A) of the given highest scoring remaining team. D. The fourth Wildcard for each class will be chosen after the third Wildcard vote from among 1) the highest scoring team not already selected and 2) any teams within 30 points (classes 3A & 2A) or 35 points (1A) of the given highest scoring remaining team. III. BASE SCORING SYSTEM: The following 2-part scoring system will be used to select the participants for the IHSWCA Duals Championship (Undergraduate Points PLUS Replacement Points). A. UNDERGRADUATE POINTS EARNED from the IHSAA individual state series, based on the following classed chart: Class 3A Class 2A Class A Sectional (no place) 5 6 9 Sectional (5th-6th) 6 7 10 Regional (no place) 13 16 18 Semi-State (1st Rd.) 17 26 28 Semi-State (2nd Rd.) 24 32 36 State (no place/8th) 36 37 39 State (6th-7th) 40 41 42 State (3rd-5th) 45 45 46 State Runner-up 47 47 48 State Champion 50 50 50 (Note: Underclassmen that did not wrestle at least 10 matches prior to sectional and do not advance to regional will earn zero (0) points) B. REPLACEMENT POINTS PROJECTED for new starters replacing seniors in the following season, according to the following formula: Number of Seniors in the Sectional Lineup TIMES Average Points Scored for All 14 Team Members TIMES Expected Replacement Level (see chart) Seniors 3A/2A Starter Replacement Level 1A Replacement Seniors 3A/2A Replacement 1A Replacement 1 0.80 0.72 8 0.55 0.45 2 0.76 0.68 9 0.52 0.42 3 0.72 0.62 10 0.50 0.39 4 0.68 0.59 11 0.47 0.37 5 0.65 0.55 12 0.45 0.34 6 0.61 0.52 13 0.42 0.32 7 0.58 0.48 14 0.40 0.30 IV. ADJUSTMENTS TO BASE SCORING: The following adjustments will be made to the base scoring system for the purpose of competitive fairness. A. An Early-Round Multiplier will be used to adjust all classes’ points according to this description: 1. The multiplier is calculated using last season’s Duals State Finals qualification scores for each team. The multiplier will adjust teams’ scores to reflect their proper value as if they wrestled in an average quality sectional and regional. The multiplier for each sectional reflects weight from both the sectional in question and the opposite sectional of that sectional’s regional. Values are capped at 1.35 and the lower limit is 0.75. 2. The multiplier will adjust only points earned by Sectional Non-Placers, Sectional 5/6, Regional Non-Placers, and Semi-State first round losers. 3. These values will be used for adjusting all classes’ base scores in 2013: Sectional Multiplier Sectional Mult. Sectional Mult. Sectional Mult. E. Chi C. 0.92 Elk Mem. 1.17 Craw-ville 0.86 Avon 1.35 Calumet 0.87 Westview 1.10 Zio-ville 1.34 Mooresv. 1.35 Crown Pt 0.99 Carroll-FW 1.35 Ham. Hts 0.96 Northview 1.03 LaPorte 0.87 NewHaven 1.35 Indy Arl. 0.96 Southridge 0.75 Mishaw. 1.25 Peru 0.75 Indy NW 0.99 Jen’gs Co. 0.87 Plymouth 1.13 Oak Hill 0.75 Warren C. 1.22 Jeff’ville 0.75 Twin Lks 0.85 Jay Co. 0.86 Shenan. 0.75 Castle 1.35 Laf Jeff 0.84 Delta 0.77 S. Dearb. 0.85 Ev. Cent. 1.30 B. An underclassmen injury provision will be used. 1. If a current sophomore or junior who reached at least semi-state level in the previous season is injured and does not wrestle at all at sectional, his team will be given his previous season’s points—minus the team’s calculated replacement value (see Part III). 2. The wrestler in question must have wrestled at least 10 matches during the season OR have a scanned image of a doctor’s note stating that the wrestler is expected to be healthy for the 2013-14 season. 3. The coach of the wrestler in question must submit an email by Wednesday, February 13, 2013, to alert IHSWCA Data Managers of the issue, so that points can be adjusted before selections are announced. Email to Adrian Troyer (atroyer@swissmail.org) the following: 1) School name, 2) Coach’s name, 3) Wrestler’s name, 4) Wrestler’s current grade (sophomore or junior), 5) Injury description, 6) 2011-12 record and advancement level, 7) 2012-13 record, 8 ) Scanned image of doctor’s note IF LESS THAN 10 MATCHES wrestled in 2012-13 (see Item 2 above) 4. Wrestlers who do not wrestle sectional due to missing weight or being disciplinarily or academically ineligible do not qualify for this provision. (The nature of a wrestler’s absence from the state series will be verified.)

Coach McCormick Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Well done Adrian and Nick! The IHSWCA cannot thank you enough for the time you have put into this project. Your process is detailed, fair and reasonable for all classes. You have been completely transparent with the guidelines. Thank You, Trent McCormick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Will the IHSWCA be using the new enrollment figures from the IHSAA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Will the IHSWCA be using the new enrollment figures from the IHSAA? The committee is discussing what to do...obviously if they're really going to come out in the next couple days, we want to use the ones that apply to next year's sports. It's tough to get info from the IHSAA incredibly quickly...waiting on word from them about exactly when the figures are coming out. An announcement will be posted somehow about how we'll proceed before the tournament starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An announcement will be posted somehow about how we'll proceed before the tournament starts. The IHSAA just wrote to us and told us the figures won't be released until "sometime in February." With that, we'll proceed with this year's numbers as already laid out in the PDF. In theory any movement of teams up and down will still be good for the same number of years--but '14 and '15 instead of '13 and '14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Stenftenagel Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I see where the Southridge multiplier is set at .75 for the Southridge Sectional.(lowest in the state) The Castle sectional has a 1.35. almost double. Jasper has beaten Reitz, Castle, Heritage Hills, Boonville. Won by over 100 pts over Castle in the Bloomington North Tournament. Castle placed above Memorial at the Siac. Jasper lost to MD only at the Central Sectional.They are at 1.30. Jasper has 1 of the best 2A dual teams in the state ,yet their qualifier is the lowest. Any help? Aren't you looking to put the best dual meet teams at this event? Overall, you guys do a great job! This is my last year coaching and I want to help next year's coach get a deserving start. Thanks Rick Stenftenagel Jasper Wrestling Coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rick Stenftenagel Jasper Wrestling Coach The multiplier reflects the overall difficulty of the path your team faces in advancing kids to semi-state. Your "early-round" score is adjusted because the depth of good teams you face the first two weeks is far less than most. Yorktown's multiplier is also quite low at 0.77. It doesn't matter that they're better than everyone in the state but a handful of teams--their sectional is almost exclusively small schools with very weak performance levels the past couple of years. I studied your situation in-depth because your team is a top 2 to 4 team in dual ability in 2A this year but you didn't qualify for the event. I know this is why you have concerns. Unfortunately, that quality you have has to come out during the state tournament. Your team scored 0 points in two weight classes during the state tournament last year. No other top 15 team had even one 0 on their score. If you had scored points in all 14 weight classes, you would have gotten an auto bid or been in the voting. If you had won even one more match at semi-state--even with the two 0s--you would have been in the voting. We set the system up to be a competition that has to be won on the mat during the individual state series--not based on what a computer spits out from your whole season's accomplishments. If you perform how you have all year (especially your underclassmen), you guys will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
