Regional Rankings State Qualifiers

Recommended Posts

I basically gave each Region 4 points for a 1st place, 3 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd and 1 for 4th, 

This is the ranking of each Region as to who made it to state.

I answer this question each year. It's an important question, so I'm always happy to engage with at least a quick response.

The Regional Categories are determined based on the "crowdedness" of each. We're trying to determine how difficult it is to qualify for semi-state--not how good the top end is. In the same way we can't say Yorktown should be ranked higher in duals than Garrett because they got more state qualifiers (Garrett beat Yorktown at team state), we can't say one regional is more crowded than another based on 9 or 17 of the 250 wrestlers that feed into that regional.

In competition terms, a better way to determine how difficult it is to get through a regional would be to have 5 dual meets between the 4th through 8th best kids from each regional. The winner of most of those matches would give a much better answer than simply whose high-end state qualifier totals are more when the majority of those come from two schools ever year in Jay County's case.

Statewide, since we've gone to the Category system the last 4 years, we've been incredibly accurate in getting almost all of the best teams from the following season into the event. In 3A, we always have 9 or 10 of the next year's year-end Top 10. In 2A, we get 8 to 10 and in 1A it's been 8 or 9. And even in 1A and 2A, where lineup turnover is so large, we've only missed a Top 5 team being at the event once every two years on average--and those teams were in the final vote, so the qualification scoring thought highly of them.  

All this to say: the scoring is working very well as a whole. It's not designed to pick IHSAA champions or to predict which regional has the most high-end talent. It's designed to find the best dual-meet teams for next year and nothing more.

In math terms, below is how we arrived at the Category levels for the Jay County and Peru regionals:

20 minutes ago, Sectional alternate. said:

"Expected Semi-State Qualifiers in an Average Regional for this team's Genius level"    Where can I find these numbers?

This was compiled from the collective performance of every school between 2012 and 2016 when we "control" for the sectional and regional site (which means eliminate its impact):
