When will the 4A rankings be updated? There is a 4A wrestler listed in the all class rankings but not in the 4A. Everything is updated but 4A. Thanks

I would assume that since no one has wrestled since December 19th that there wouldn't be new rankings until after the first week of the new year... Just a thought.
Also, do the rankings really matter that much?

I have a saying..... "rankings are for the rubes" Rankings publicize the sport and create interest. We sorely need publicity and interest.

While I agree we need publicity and interest, there is no evidence that rankings do either of those things. I'm going to respectfully disagree. Top 3 Subjects on the High School Forum: 1. All Class Rankings 23,154 views 2. Where High School goes wrong 6,675 views 3. 5A/6A Rankings 5,601 views I think there is a valid point that Rankings increases publicity and interest. I also think that good wrestlers know that they really don't mean much.

But that is a biased sampling. The people reading this forum are already wrestling fans. I don't see those kind of numbers represented at the typical Saturday tournament.

I didn't mean to start something. I wasn't saying that I don't enjoy looking at the rankings week to week.
I was just stating that they simply aren't important enough for anyone to be getting bent out of shape about when they aren't updated every week when someone thinks they should.
The individuals that put together the rankings aren't getting paid extra to do them and they do the best with the information that is provided to them. They have other, more important, responsibilities that may take precedent over a trivial high school ranking.

http://www.catchitkansas.com/sports/cik-2015-winter-preview/30463724Catch it Kansas is distributed through out the state. The main focus of the magazine is RANKINGS. So, there are a ton of non-wrestling fans that will read this. They may originally go looking for basketball or some other sport, get to reading and see THE RANKINGS. I announce for our High School and always include the 5A ranking and the All State Ranking. The newspaper uses the rankings. Rankings are HUGE to fans and non fans alike.

I didn't mean to start something. Good, because starting something on this forum is a job better left to Beeson and I.

It is also interesting to compare how people rank. For example this is an athlete ranked 6th in 4A in a weight class and ranked 8th in the all class rankings. Number 2-5 are not ranked in the all-class rankings.
