Girls rankings

Using the girl's rankings from January 24th and assigning placement points for places 1 through 6 for scoring wrestlers gives the following:
South = 57 points
Princeton = 56 points
Buckhannon Upshur = 49 points
Cabell Midland = 37 points
Musselman = 36 points
Parkersburg = 33 points
Washington = 28 points
Liberty Raleigh = 24 points
I don't know the rosters for all these teams or results to know if this reflects dual strength.
Should be an interesting state tournament for the girls.

I have corrected my earlier mistake in scoring for Buckhannon. Not sure how I added up their score so incorrectly. And as the following post points out, I added Washington's score even though they were not included in the top 10 rankings, which may also be based a little more on team strength in duals and not just tournament competition. I did not allow points to be scored by more than one wrestler per weight class per team, as I thought I read somewhere they were going to use normal scoring for the Girls State tournament this year, but let everyone wrestle at an individual level to promote participation. However, I don't know for sure if that is the case.

I just knocked this out the other day too. Some of the numbers I matched up with others I have a little off.

South 57
Princeton 56
B-U 49 (which was different)
Musselman 45 (I gave Hulbrink's points to them, I assume that's where our difference is.)
Cabell Midland 37
Parkersburg 33
Washington 28
Liberty Raleigh 24
Berkeley Springs 23
Shady Spring 19
Ripley 18
TC, SM, UNI, Preston, Oak Hill, 16
Nicholas 15

I arbitrarily stopped at 17th place.
The reason I am responding is I am curious where I missed points.
1-16
2-12
3-9
4-7
5-5
6-3
Is this correct?

It's also funny this doesn't really reflect the team rankings.
Either way totally agree the team race on the girls side is going to be very interesting.

Yes, the placement points listed are correct.
