Midwest Collegiate Sailing Rankings April 23, 2012

The rankings for April 23 saw the addition of 7 new positions as more teams pass the 2 regatta threshold for inclusion in the rankings.

• Only teams competing in a minimum of 2 evaluated MCSA conference regattas were eligible for inclusion in the rankings. The final Spring rankings will only include teams competing in a minimum of 3 evaluated regattas. 
• Ranking is based on the highest placing team from a given university at a regatta.
• Ranking scores are weighted based on the number of teams (field size) competing in a regatta.
• For universities competing in more than 2 regattas, only the highest two ranking scores were used
• Round robin-style regattas were not evaluated
• Evaluated regattas for this cycle: Freshman Ice Breaker, Robert Morris Invitational, Wittenberg Regatta, Hawkeye Invitational, Buckeye Intersectional, Wet Your Willie, MCSA Coed Championship, & 3 Division Championship

As always, these rankings are not sanctioned by the ICSA, MCSA or any participating team but are meant as a resource for discussion about Midwest regional collegiate sailing.
