2021 Pre-HSNCT Rankings

Welcome to the first in our series of pre-nationals rankings! This technically is our pre-HSNCT ranking, but with a slight difference. Ordinarily, our pre-HSNCT ranks would only take NAQT stats into account but as a result of missing NAQT rankable performances from many teams (including basically all the Illinois teams) we felt it would not present a complete picture. As a result, these are overall pre-nationals ranks, but only including teams attending HSNCT. There is no difference in adjustments since we are still including all the sets, it’s just that only the top 150 teams attending HSNCT are being ranked.

A note that the pre-nationals poll is up for one more day so if these rankings have given you inspiration to fill out a ballot, get those in soon! https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=25112

As always, our rankings are brought to you thanks to our Patreon donors, namely:

Todd Garrison

Enjoy your first pre-nationals rankings, and good luck to all teams competing at HSNCT this weekend!

In addition, the following teams are registered for HSNCT but do not have any usable stats in our system: Alma Bryant A (AL), Chatham Glenwood A (IL), Decatur A (AL), DeLaSalle A (MN), Fossil Ridge A (CO), Franklin A (TX), Gate City A (VA), Godinez A (CA), Hollidaysburg A (PA), James W. Robinson A (VA), Liberty North A (MO), Midtown Classical A (FL), Norton A (OH), Orange County A (VA), Plano West B (TX), Valle Verde A (TX), Ysleta A (TX)

Also note that although Saratoga A (CA) is registered for HSNCT, their results have been excluded, as two of their players have been banned from competing due to misconduct and old results are not likely to be representative of their HSNCT performance.
