Fall Rankings
Posted: Sun Dec 13, 2015 12:50 pm
Hey all!
So I know Kyle Hill does his events based rankings for his radio station but I'd been toying with the idea of doing one better. Being a giant tennis freak (No foolin, my handle on goldderby.com the go to for all things pop culture is "tennisfreak".), I stole almost wholesale the ATP Rankings method and applied it to quizbowl based on order of team finish. Points are assigned based on finish, not games won, and the larger the event, the more points are allotted. For example:
Events of 12 teams or fewer: Winner receives 250, runner up 150, third and fourth place 90, fifth through eighth 45, remainder 5.
Events of 13-18: Winner 500, runner up 300, third and fourth 180, fifth through eighth 90, ninth through twelfth 45, remainder 5.
Events of 19-24: same as 13-18 except teams 13-16 get 20 and the remainder 5.
Events of 25-36: Winner 1000, runner up 600, third and fourth 360, fifth through eighth 180, ninth through twelfth 90, thirteenth through eighteenth 45, nineteenth to twenty-fourth 25, remainder 10
Events capping at 48: Winner 1500, runner up 900, third and fourth 540, fifth through eighth 270, ninth to sixteenth 135, seventeenth to twenty-fourth 75, twenty-fifth to thirty-sixth 40, remainder 15.
So as you can see participation is rewarded but so are results from going deep in deep fields. Only a school's best team result is counted (no double dipping or if you're Ladue quintuple dipping) and events that use non single elim playoffs with fields that don't have age, geographic, or performance restrictions are counted (so no jv events, conference events, or winter invitationals). The fall rankings are as follows:
