I’m pleased to announce that for the first time, HSQBRank will be naming All-World Teams. These teams will recognize the best individual players in high school quiz bowl for the 2014-2015.
Ten people will be announced to the All-World First Team. Ten more will be named to the All-World Second Team. The existence of Honorable Mentions has not been determined at this time. The teams will be announced in May.
I will be naming the teams myself, though this is not so much solely derived from statistics like the rankings would be.
Would there be some sort of nomination process involved here?
Informally, kind of. I’m getting in contact with people to ask for recommendations.
Best wishes with this latest venture of yours, I have actually been waiting a while for you to do individual rankings. However, you will probably have a lot of people disagree with your rankings since there is no clear cut way to rank players (unlike teams because of ppb), although I am sure you are already aware of this.
