Bear Tracks AAA Preseason - Edition 2

[Bearhugger]

BEAR TRACKS AAA Preseason Edition 2 – August 22


Guidelines:
1. Wrestlers begin the preseason ranked based on how they finished at the previous state tournament.
2. Incoming freshman begin the season unranked.
3. The basis of the Bear tracks ranking system is “To be the man, you have to beat the man”.
4. Each weight class will begin divided into three sub categories. During the preseason, the “ranked” wrestlers will be only returning state place winners. The “STQ” will be returning state tournament qualifiers that did not place. The “Pack” will be all incoming freshmen and NON-STQs.
5. Added feature for 2019/2020. The returning STQs will be ranked based on wins and loses at the state tournament. A wrestler that went 1-2 will be ranked higher than a wrestler that went 0-2.
6. During the preseason, wrestlers will be assigned to their given weight class based on Super 32 registration, the highly reliable tool known as “Word on the Street” and the newly created quantitative programs developed by the Bear Tracks Analytics Team.
7. Any head to head WV vs WV matches that take place at Super 32 will be used to adjust rankings.
8. By popular demand, the wrestler’s grade will now be recognized on their resume.
9. Wrestlers will be recognized as follows: Name/School/State Placement/Region/Grade/Source. The source is one of the three topics listed above in guideline 6.
10. In the beginning, rankings will be created on the best available information and updated as information becomes accessible.

Surely there is more returners than that.

Surely there is more returners than that.

Yes indeed. However, there is not enough "words on the street" yet to get an idea of what weight classes they could be at. School just started and edition 2 has more than edition 1.

All input is appreciated. Thank you to those that have pitched in so far.
