We are increasing the field size to 12

A common question to the post centered on what constituted “school affiliation”. I have edited the post to clarify that school affiliation means playing only with people who attend the same school, not that teams are required to play under their school name.

Groger Ranks is pleased to announce that we will be hosting an online discord mirror of Prison Bowl XII for high school teams. This is last year ’s iteration of Prison Bowl and so teams that play this can still play the upcoming Prison Bowl XIII later in the spring! Prison Bowl is an hs regs+ set an...

James Stevenson from GPS isn't mentioned on the Groger Ranks post at all, but I'd like to congratulate him for being the well-deserved unanimous first place among the RMPSS ballots. We addressed this in the website link, but due to a lack of responses we did not do awards for geo/ce/other and RMPSS...

Some notes. Traditionally, Player Polls (like the college one and the hs Player Poll run last year) have people making "for your consideration" posts. We would encourage healthy discussion about it here (as long as it doesn't devolve into destructive criticism of others like the National Quiz Bowl A...

Hello, everyone. As you may know for the last year, Groger Ranks has been working on rankings of teams in particular. However, there is no objective way to rank individuals statistically. As such, we are pleased to announce the 2018-19 Player Poll, which was run last year by Groger Ranks member Anso...

For Illinois at least, last year at IMSANITY and this year at Midwest Championship both used NSC format I think

Congratulations to all at HSNCT! While we work on entering in HSNCT stats and our Post-HSNCT write-up, here is an interesting spreadsheet we compiled comparing the t-12 and up teams to how Groger Ranks predicted they'd end up: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OCarzp25Xoi5is41gVbzK5ERMlTv5KJ16...

Quick points of clarification based on questions we've already received. We are making this 15 only as opposed to 25 as in past polls in order to standardize the amount of teams ranked on each ballot. In the midseason poll we ran, as well as the player poll that Groger Ranks member Anson Berns helpe...

After running the Midseason Poll, Groger Ranks is pleased to announce our 2019 Pre-Nationals Poll.

Justifications are required, especially if th...

A series of mishaps which would've seen our field dwindle by even more and our pool of staffers basically non-existent has led us to face the decision of cancelling the mirror, running it with virtually no staffers with a small field, or making a second date change, this time on Easter, a time which...

The date for ILLIAC Online has been pushed ahead to Sunday, April 21 due to holidays, other tournaments, and other commitments that would have led to our field dwindling by even more. We have contacted every registered team to make sure they are fine with it before we made this date change. We would...

The final field cap will be 12 teams. Currently 7 teams are registered though 5 of these teams are either solo or tentative so the number very well may dwindle. We’d like to encourage all teams who plan on playing nationals and don’t have a nearby ILLIAC mirror to consider playing online!

I forgot to include the JHU mirror I believe above and Bard has also announced a mirror. Currently our field is at 6 out of 8 teams, but that includes a lot of incomplete and tentative teams, so we would still like more signups to make sure this mirror is feasible enough to run. As stated above, we ...
