How the team rankings are calculated for the WWR Rankings
Effective 1/1/22
The state team rankings are based upon a hypothetical state tournament with the final placings derived from the current individual rankings. Placing points are assigned for 12 places in some divisions, plus advancement points, 2 pins for the 1st place winner and 1 pin for the 2nd place winner. Of course, actual state tournaments have variations in pins, but this method represents an average. We take the top 12 ranked wrestlers in each division that places 8, and the top 10 in those that place 6, and assign the following points for current rankings:
| Place | Placing 8 | Placing 6 |
| 1st | 27 | 25 |
| 2nd | 22 | 20 |
| 3rd | 18 | 16 |
| 4th | 16 | 14 |
| 5th | 13 | 11 |
| 6th | 10 | 8 |
| 7th | 8 | 6 |
| 8th | 6 | 4 |
| 9th | 3 | 2 |
| 10th | 2 | 1 |
| 11th | 1 | |
| 12th | 1 |
The individual points for each wrestler on the team are added up to determine the team score ranking based on the state tournament.
So as it shows now:
2A-4 Boys place 8 and they are using the 27,22,18,16,13,10, 8, 6, 3, 2, 1, 1. (Ranking top 12)
1A and 1B/2B place 6 and they should be using 25, 20, 16, 14, 11, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1. (Ranking top 10)
3A/4A Girls Place 8 and they are using the 27,22,,18,16,13,10, 8, 6, 3, 2, 1, 1. (Ranking top 12)
1B/2B-2A Girls Place 6 and they should be using 25, 20, 16, 14, 11, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1. (Ranking top 10)

Edmonds Woodway just beat Arlington in the last match of the season. Rankings don’t make any sense.
Trying to make sense of the new B rankings for 195, Ezra Miller from Life Christian was 2nd a few weeks ago, has won 2 tournaments, not lost to any B wrestlers, beat the Kalama kid you have ranked 6th and has beat 10 195 wrestlers from highers classes this year. Can someone help?
Why doesn’t WIlbur Creston Keller have 28 points? 160 first place = 22 and 220 4th place = 6
Hayden Hall Franklin Pierce sophomore beat #8 Larson at State last year as a freshman 8-3. Is undefeated this year so far at 160. Won the Washington patriot tourney last week. Will be wrestling 152 at Hammer head this upcoming week. Will be 145 post season. One to watch for.
These team rankings are not even close. It applies individual results and tries to put it into a team format. For example if you have 2 kids that are state champions no one else on your team you can be in the rankings over full teams that grinds it out on the backside. You might get to the top 20 at Mat classic but it does not make you a top 20 team in the state.
