Many players would agree that pure mathematical rankings can’t tell the full story about any given team's strengths and weaknesses. Each team has a unique story and personal character which cannot be gleaned off of a mere look at a stats page. This is why we believe player-submitted polls are crucia...

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.

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.
