New England Girls Pound 4 Pound
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!
Girls P4P: Scored out of 24. The girls P4P list was made using the 2023 18u Girl’s New Englands hosted at the Youth New England for public school attendees and the 2023 NEISWA Girl’s New England’s for prep school wrestlers. NHSCA Nationals were then also accounted for both sets of wrestlers.
Did I miss a weight change, transfer, or key result? Let me know!
NOTE*: Girl's P4P list has expanded to Top-20 with addition of Prep-School wrestlers
