Question about Rankings

There is a point quota for each national tournament and where they finish at that tournament. At least that is how is supposed to work.

IT is probaly the same as the mens.

Where you place in the nationals determines how many points you recieve.
1st is 100, 2nd is 90, 3rd is 80, etc...

There are a couple of national tournaments where you get your points from. This is probably why you think they did not compete at a national you were at. They probably placed at another of the following.
Golden Gloves, US Nationals, Pal, Etc..

I know how they did it for the guys as of 2006 and it might be the same for the women. The ranking system seems to change from time to time.

The Ranking System is Based upon the US Championships getting 1st – 150 pts., 2nd – 120 pts., 3rd & 4th – 100 pts., 5th – 8th – 75 pts.

International competition: 30 pts for entering and 30 pts for each victory on top of initial 30 pts for entering the competitionl. They also can give additional points for certain international tournaments.

Other National Tournaments, Nat’l GG & Nat’l PAL: 100 pts – 1st, 75 pts – 2nd, 50 pts – 3rd & 4th, 25 pts – 5th – 8th like Julie Goldsticker indicated.

Amy, even the men get ranked in two weight classes sometimes. They eventually drop off the list of one of them. Also, the women don't have as many opportunites to get points as the men do. This also impacts the ratings numbers. Below is the ranking system used for the men and I don't see anything different for the females:

U.S. Championships

Champion: 150 pts
Silver: 120 pts
Bronze: 100 pts
Quarterfinalist: 75 points

National Golden Gloves and PAL

Champion: 100
Silver: 75
Bronze: 50
Quarterfinalist: 25

International competitions

The National Director of Coaching shall determine the performance value of each event based upon his assessment of the strength of the competition.

Each competition shall be ranked as follows:

Top tier events*: 50 points for attending and 50 points per win

Second tier events: 40 points for attending and 40 points per win

Third tier events: 30 points for attending and 30 points per win

Fourth tier events: 20 points for attending 20 points per win

*Top Tier events will consist of selected international competitions including but not limited to: World Championships, World Cup, Pan American Games, Olympic qualifiers and Olympic Games

Amy, I'm guessing that the Womens GG is used for ranking...

I don't know what you mean by a "handful of boxers," unless you are referring to the fact that the women have to pay their own way to all tournaments, therefore lessening the number of entries

Unfortunately, Amy, until such time as women's boxing becomes an Olympic sport, there is no funding. Supposedly the new BOD is committed to women's boxing but I haven't seen anything concrete yet. We'll just continue to keep our fingers crossed.

Amy, I totally agree with you. :) I've been involved in the women's boxing program since it started and, luckily, it's come a long way since the first women's championships in 1997. From what I understand, the new BOD of USA Boxing has said they are committed to seeing that women's boxing grows. You can always email the new ED, Jim Millman, and give him your input.
