maligned Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Joe will post the updated scores shortly.Here’s a summary:*Notes-ASSUMING NO NEW INJURY INFORMATION IS SUBMITTED TODAY OR TOMORROW, all bids in all classes are clinched except one (Chesterton needs 3 state championships to catch Castle. There could be some jockeying for other positions as well, but bids are clinched.)-Portage, Avon, and Churubusco have injury adjustments for Prado, Miranda, and Leazier added into below scores-The only remaining points to be scored are for underclassmen in all 3 classes in this way: 0.5 for 6th-7th, 1 for 3rd-5th, 1.5 for 2nd, 2 for state champ3A:East Chicago rep: Crown Point 224Fort Wayne rep: Carroll 177New Castle rep: Warren Central 220Evansville rep: Evansville Mater Dei 221Automatic wildcards:Portage 222Avon 210Penn 208Brownsburg 205Perry Meridian 204Castle 197Currently in position for consideration for both vote-in wildcards: Chesterton 192, Indianapolis Cathedral 182, Columbus East 177Currently in position for consideration for final vote-in wildcard only: Lawrence North 175, Carmel 171, Jennings County 171Additional 3A notes:-You must be within 15 points of the first available candidate (currently Chesterton) for consideration for both vote-in wildcards and within 15 of the second available candidate (currently Cathedral) for consideration for the final wildcard-Recall that Crown Point have declined bids 3 times. If they decline again, Portage would be the new East Chicago rep and Chesterton would move into the final automatic wildcard position. LN, Carmel, and JC would then be eligible for both of the vote-in positions along with Cathedral and CE. Hobart would need at least 2 more points this weekend to reach vote-in eligibility for the final wildcard in the no-CP scenario.2A:East Chicago rep: Culver Academies 130Fort Wayne rep: Bellmont 210New Castle rep: North Montgomery 217Evansville rep: Edgewood 187Automatic wildcards:Yorktown 208Jimtown 198Garrett 184Franklin County 176Southmont 165NorthWood 163Currently in position for consideration for both vote-in wildcards: Lebanon 162, South Dearborn 162, Delta 151, Evansville Memorial 149, Indian Creek 149, Southridge 148Additional 2A notes:-You must be within 15 points of the first available candidate (Lebanon/S.

maligned Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Can we get CP there this year? I hope so. Not sure CP's school schedule, but most schools are getting out like Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday of the week before the Saturday-Sunday Christmas weekend this year. They've not come because they don't want to wrestle over the holidays, but I personally hope they'll accept a bid since it's on Friday the 23rd, right at the start of break. They could wrestle one or two more days, then still get virtually their whole 2 weeks of Christmas vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fine Print Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Interesting that Culver Academy and Triton are the automatic qualifiers from the EC semi-state in 2A & 1A, yet have rather low team scores. These two teams also come from the same sectional (Plymouth). What does that say about the quality - or lack of quality - for the Plymouth sectional and Rochester regional? Is that an indication of the difficulty of smaller schools to advance wrestlers in that sectional and regional? Or are all the smaller teams in that quadrant just bad?

maligned Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 When is the vote for the vote-in candidates this year? It's always been done in April at the time of the coaches' clinic in Indianapolis. Interesting that Culver Academy and Triton are the automatic qualifiers from the EC semi-state in 2A & 1A, yet have rather low team scores. These two teams also come from the same sectional (Plymouth). What does that say about the quality - or lack of quality - for the Plymouth sectional and Rochester regional? Is that an indication of the difficulty of smaller schools to advance wrestlers in that sectional and regional? Or are all the smaller teams in that quadrant just bad? It really only means that there weren't very many good 1A or 2A schools at the East Chicago semi-state this year. There have been in other years, but a number of typical candidates are not as strong...Hanover Central, Rochester, Bremen, Culver Academies, West Lafayette have all had good qualifying scores in past years, for example. The quota system controls for difficulty of path, so many of the small-school teams that have clinched berths are from difficult paths in other areas of the state. It's just a down year.

maligned Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) What all goes into calculating these scores, because Warren won state pretty easily, yet they are tied in score with EMD The scoring is specifically designed to project duals ability next year. It won't necessarily reflect current-season strength or tournament-style ability. Warren, for example, loses 8 starters and is projected to come back to the pack some.

maligned Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) If you've only read the scores summary, it's worth looking at the final leaderboard to understand better how some schools are where they are. Remember that underclassmen score much more than seniors because of their direct impact on each team's quality next year. We've included a column on the final leaderboard for how many underclassmen starters each team in the state is bringing back next year. Some general trends for certain numbers of starters coming back: 8 or 9 returning: slight drop-off in duals ability is expected 7 or less returning: significant drop-off expected 10 or 11 returning: some improvement in duals ability expected 12+ returning: significant improvement expected Knowing this, it explains why a team like Shenandoah with 14 starters coming back is tied for 3rd in overall score at 1A. It also explains the high score of a surprising 2A team like NorthWood, who brings back 13 (they also got one of their best guys back right at the end of the year and were scoring much higher at year-end events). On the other hand, knowing Brownsburg brings back 9 and Warren only 6 explains why their qualifying scores suggest they could be back with the 3A pack next year instead of so far out front.

Either allow them both to be voted on, or put them both in. Right? It is for the last spot and the tiebreaker is designed exactly for the above scenario. It's laid out in the procedures for two situations: semi-state rep and final automatic wildcard. The vote-in wildcards are a precious commodity designed to give the committee a chance to look at many more details than just state series performance (missed weight or mid-tournament injuries drastically affecting scoring, incoming freshmen/JVs, state series upsets) to pick 2 final candidates that could be top teams next year in the most effective way possible. There has to be a rigid quota of 10 automatic berths for that commodity to exist. Re-reading the wording of the procedures doc, I understand how it could be interpreted that the tiebreaker doesn't apply here, but the phrase in item II.B "will also be selected and invited based solely on points" is meant to imply that the same scoring AND tiebreakers from II.A will be used as part of a strict cutoff. I will make it more clear for next year. Edited February 25, 2016 by maligned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 It is also a shame that two representatives from east chicago woukdnt have enough points to qualify if they were in any of the other 3 semistates. Honestly, many people feel the qualification ought to be MORE geographically oriented (top 2 per semi-state per class, for example). That's obviously how an IHSAA event would be, where the distribution of the number and quality of teams was often quite uneven. There was often a "weak link" rep at IHSAA team state that wouldn't be a top 40 team but would be at team state. Unless we can come up with a way of better distributing teams per class per geographic area (right now there's a wide range in team totals per class per semi-state), I don't think anyone will push hard for it to change because of the situations you mention from this year.

I understand what you're saying, but I'm saying the tiebreaker exists so that no one is "deemed equal" in the case of a rigid quota cutoff. It's the same as two 10-6 teams in the NFL trying to get into the playoffs. They are equal only in record--not in playoff qualifying criteria, which also includes tiebreakers to make sure no one is "deemed equal." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
