Thank you for all of the input! I am sure there will be several corrections and I will change them based on quality criteria.
Wrestlers are ranked by their ANTICIPATED weights. As with any ranking system they are just my opinion, arrived at through MANY hours of research.
Many factors are considered (Not always in this order):
1. State bracket performance. 2. Performance at prestigious national folkstyle tournaments. 3. National FS/GR success. 4. Information from Coaches and Parents. 5. Competition that the wrestler has faced.
IMPORTANT:
The input must include criteria! Asking, "Why is this guy above that guy" or saying, "I can't believe you have that guy ranked" is not criteria. Just state your evidence and if found substantive, I will change it. Also remember that we are still over six weeks away from the first whistle so a lot can change and surely will.
