Weighted Score Formula
Weighted Score =
(CS × 60%) + (min(TD, 17) × 15%) + (min(CC, 38) × 25%)
CS — Competitive Success
Weight: 60% · No cap — open-ended
TD — Team Depth
Weight: 15% · Max 17 pts
CC — Coach & Community
Weight: 25% · Max 38 pts
Competitive Success is fully open-ended — clubs are never limited in what they can achieve competitively. Team Depth and Coach & Community have defined maximums based on the finite number of available criteria. Points in each category accumulate throughout the season and the weighted score determines the final ranking.
Worked Example — Club A(hypothetical season totals)
Step 1 — Accumulate Raw Points
| Category | Example Sources | Raw Total |
|---|---|---|
| Competitive Success | States placements + Regionals + Nationals podiums | 130 |
| Team Depth | 7 levels with ≥1 athlete at States | 16 |
| Coach & Community | Congress + hosting + sportsmanship | 17 |
Step 2 — Apply Percentage Weights
| Category | Raw Pts | Cap | Weight | Calculation | Weighted Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Competitive Success | 130 | — none | 60% | 130 × 0.60 | 78.00 |
| Team Depth | 16 | max 17 | 15% | min(16,17) × 0.15 | 2.40 |
| Coach & Community | 17 | max 38 | 25% | min(17,38) × 0.25 | 4.25 |
| Club A Weighted Score | 84.65 | ||||
How ranking works: Competitive Success is open-ended — clubs are never capped on what they can earn competitively. Team Depth and Coach & Community have defined maximums reflecting the finite criteria available. The leaderboard ranks clubs from highest to lowest weighted score, showing both raw totals and the final weighted score for full transparency.

Tie-Breaker Protocol

- Competitive Success score — higher score wins
- Number of L10 National qualifiers — more qualifiers wins
- Team Depth score — higher score wins
- If still tied, clubs share the rank position
