This past month, I developed a new formula to help in determining pound for pound rankings that I am calling the “Golf Method.” Without exposing the secret formula, it essentially gives each wrestler a score based on their appearances and results in the New England and NHSCA tournaments, as those seem to be the most attended and recognized tournaments by the New England wrestling community.

The formula grades each wrestler on their placement in New Englands and their record or placement in NHSCA tournaments. Each grade has a different optimal score and scoring system. The list is then determined by the lowest score, thus like a game of golf. Those rankings are then combined  with a few “x-factors,” and results from other nationally recognized tournaments, to produce the Schwartz Report’s P4P rankings!

​

Boys P4P: To determine a list of scores with different totals, each is simplified to 24 points. (Seniors divided by three, juniors divided by two), and a final list is determined, and then this ranking serves as the most critical component of calculating our P4P rankings.
