I'm sure R8 does not mean to sound whiney. I can't possibly imagine all the time and effort that goes into statewide rankings. I wonder why anyone wants to do it.
I would just like to see a little blurb of results that backs up the rankings.
Anyway, are these rankings used for anything important? Are rankings taken into account when seeding for the state tournament, MatMan's, TNrankers, or anyone's? Are they taken into account when seeding for regionals, or anyone's tournaments?
If not, I suppose they count for naught except bragging rights.
I'd like to know anyhow.
