I then add in other team members that will likely score points without placing. In case of ties or very close scores, the number of finalists are usually the tie-breaker. The All-Class team rankings are not calculated quite the same way. These team rankings do not simulate a Grand state scenario. The entire team is still considered. The results of the larger tournaments during the year carry more weight, as the smaller number of teams make the results closer to a dual result. At times, when I release the AC rankings before the class rankings, the AC team ranking could change after I have analyzed the individual classes more closely.
