TRAVIUS - I think that is what we are trying for.

Under the new criteria that I have proposed, the rating would be more objective.
AA - State Champion
A - State Placer
B - State Qualifier
C - Advanced wrestler
D - Novice or beginner

Each one of these has smething for you to base your rating upon. How is this less objective than the current system.
As far as having a Two-Tier System (seperating Open & Novice), that Donnie has suggested, we already do in the way of novice tournaments.

bdisney - Yes I would still rate him as an "AA" but as I stated in one of my previous posts, If you rate your wrestler AA, A, or B, then you should also include the year. I think it is a rare thing that one would win state and then not even qualify the next year.

Maybe you can only be ranked an "AA" if the championship was from the previous year.

Or, maybe your right. Maybe your ranking should only be as good as what you were the previous year. I would be interested to know what others think about your rating being based on your previous year.
