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)
