If you are going to use the above system on a uniform basis, I would change AA to State Champion or National tournament Placer. I think that being our State Champion is more of an accomplishment than certainly a low place at some of these national tournaments. I know we value and think more highly of my son's first place at State last year than his second place finish at Liberty Nationals. Even if he had won Liberty Nationals, we would have considered the state championship more difficult to achieve. A first place finish at State is also worthy of a higher rating than a lower State place position.
