maligned Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Very sorry everyone. I was on a 2 week trip moving my family from East Africa to the U.S., and just got back on Sunday. It means some of the info behind the procedures we use for Team State qualification is behind schedule. Usually we'd shoot for Wednesday/Thursday leaderboard release after sectional weekend. Sadly, it will be later than that, but we're hoping for getting it out before regional. Thanks for your patience!!

maligned Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 Yeah, sadly stuck in a neighboring big city where their cultish obsession with their team makes everything taste like a giant tree seed. I mean, I like sports--but these guys are weirdos over here. Unknown Caller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrodyHardcastle Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Will there still be a chance to fill out the form for kids who were injured this season and qualified for RQ/SSQ the prior year?

Nate Spangle Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 @maligned Really appreciate all the hard work you put into this. Could you provide some insight into how difficulty scoring works? And how frequently that is updated? (When you get the chance) Thank you! RASSLER4LIFE and Unknown Caller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you provide some insight into how difficulty scoring works? And how frequently that is updated? (When you get the chance) Thank you! Q: How can we know how difficult it is to advance from a particular sectional or regional? We can look at the Genius ratings of all schools for the last several years and consider how many regional qualifiers and semi-state qualifiers they got while “controlling” mathematically for their sectional and regional path. Using all of these factors simultaneously, we can project very, very accurately how many regional or semi-state qualifiers teams of any given Genius rating “deserves” if they were in an average level tournament path. If we then add together how many regional and semi-state qualifiers the teams of each sectional and regional should have, we can know how difficult each tournament site is to advance from. Q: What are Genius ratings? Genius ratings are computer ratings that use the system on which all major sports’ “true talent” or “true ability” ratings systems are based. All Las Vegas lines for particular games, for example, use the score-based ratings system that we use to compile the Genius ratings. The ratings include all scores for all dual meets and tournaments in the IndianaMat database for the entire season. They are very accurate, very predictive ratings over the long term. Q: Once we know how many regional and semi-state qualifiers each tournament site “deserves”, how do we specifically control for their various difficulty levels? Using our “deserved” regional or semi-state qualifier totals, we assign a “Category” level to each tournament that corresponds with a “quota” of advancers per weight class that are assigned to that tournament. For example, a sectional that deserves 4 regional qualifiers per weight class is a Category 4 sectional. A regional that deserves 5 semi-state qualifiers per weight class is a Category 5 regional. We then award regional qualifier points or semi-state qualifier points based on each site’s Category quota (between 2 and 6 per weight class per site). Q: How can we award regional qualifier or semi-state qualifier points to 5 or 6 guys when only 4 really advanced? For sectionals, a Category 5 or Category 6 site’s individuals receive regional qualifier points for placing 5th or 6th place. For Category 5 or Category 6 regionals, we use tiebreaker criteria to award 5th and 6th place to individuals who are then awarded semi-state qualifier points despite not advancing in real-life. Q: When are the Categories assigned for sectional and regional tournament sites? They will be announced each season during the last week or two before sectionals. This year, they will be announced Thursday or Friday before sectional as part of the Team State qualification procedures document that is always posted to the IHSWCA website. Q: What about the “multiplier” that I heard about that controls for sectional and regional difficulty? The multiplier no longer exists It was a little bit less accurate and more difficult for tracking your own team’s score. Q: Why does my sectional have the same (or lower) category than the sectional we face at regional when we had just as many semi-state qualifiers as them when our regional qualifiers faced each other face to face? Your sectional, despite having just as many (or more) strong top-end individuals, was not deeper than the other sectional at the 4th, 5th and 6th spots at your sectionals. In other words, your sectional was not harder to get out of even though your best individuals are just as good or better than the other sectional. djackson0944, Nate Spangle and HornetSloan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomber_bob Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Are the new classifications going to be released sooner than the standings? I know the same enrollment numbers will be used, but there will still probably be some moving around with the teams with 7 or less wrestlers removed.
