Rankings are a piece of paper. On the mat is where it is decided who is best. Rankings are never 100% correct, and are a neccessary evil. Too many times I have seen the 4th ranked wrestler and the 2nd or 3rd ranked team end up at the top of the medal stand. The coaches work hard to make rankings so everyone can have the best idea possible of where teams/individuals stand throughout the year. The KWCA makes their own rankings because that is how they choose to do it. If one disagrees with the KWCA, then he/she certainly has the latitude to make their own rankings and publish them where they see fit. The KWCA rankings are not the bible and no one is forced to read them or adhere to them, as stated before, rankings are a piece of paper and nothing more. Let's applaud the coaches who take on the burden of preparing the rankings, agree to disagree with who is ranked where so that we have something to debate and, finally, settle it on the mat!
