Ranking Overview:
• Wrestlers are ranked based on how they placed at last season’s state tournament.
• Non-placing wrestlers get ranked for wins over returning state placers.
• Non-placing wrestlers get ranked for close losses to returning state placers.
• Non-placing wrestlers now get ranked for significant performance such as winning a tournament or placing well in a more substantial tournament.
• As matches occur, head to head wins drive the ranking train.
• Returning state tournament qualifiers have to do something significant this season to get ranked.
• Due to social distancing requirements, Bear Tracks will now be broken down into four different weight class ranges. Based on previous years’ feedback, many of you watch one or two weight classes very closely.



RECENT UPDATES:
1. STQ2 = State Tournament Qualifier that made it to the blood round, thus won two matches at the state tournament. All of the returning STQ2 wrestlers have been ranked if their weight class can be verified.

2. RANK READY is a new category added. This will be given to one wrestler per weight class, per classification, if applicable. This wrestler currently does not meet the ranking criteria because their schedule simply hasn’t given them the opportunity. However, the wrestler is deemed to be in the top 10 now.

3. STQ1 = State Tournament Qualifier that won one match at the state tournament. These wrestlers are currently ranked only if they meet the other ranking criteria.

4. STQ = State Tournament Qualifier that did not win a match at the state tournament. These wrestlers are currently ranked only if they meet the other ranking criteria.
