* This will be the score used until your first match is shot.
JSU 4684.67 rounded up to keep tie breaker correct.

Point totals were awarded in reverse order 20 points for a 1st place vote, 19 points for second, etc. This year we will use a place holder score, last year’s three match qualifying score, as a team’s first score until they shoot their first match. As we have done in the past, fall semester ranking will be based on a team’s highest score from the last weekend shot. The ranking week will run Monday – Sunday. The December 15th ranking will begin to use the three match score qualifying numbers.
