If you take this years weight classes, multiply it by 2, then add in the equaiton from last years results at state, (prior to regional contests) then multiply it by 12 you get the base number. You then take that base number multiply it by 13, (the number of letters in Richard Salyer's name) divide it by the number of people in each of the ranked wrestlers school, you come up with base number 2. You then add base number 1 to base number 2, add the numbers together of the grade of the student, example 9th grade would be 9, 11th grade would be 2, add those numbers to the base number, divide by 4 (the numbers of years in high school for most kids) you get the overall total ranking. I think it is pretty simple and the forumla used by Chief seems to work from year to year.

Just kidding of course as the only ranking that really matters is the one at the end of the year after the state tournaments, everything else up to that point is for some fun, some motivation, and fun to talk about.
