Diving into the first edition of the SemoSportsWeb all-sports standings
Two of its teams won state championships. Two more reached the state semifinals. Another won a district trophy.
All things considered, it's no wonder Notre Dame leads the first installment of our SemoSportsWeb all-sports standings.
Using a formula put together years ago by the Des Moines Register newspaper for its own all-sports standings, we combed through 2007-'08 playoff results from every sport sanctioned by the MSHSAA and awarded points to each of the 85 schools in our region.
The formula awards 10 points to a state champion, 8 to a runnerup, etc., all the way down to 2 points for a sectional qualifier and 1 for a regional qualifier. The system also takes into account sports such as wrestling and golf, which use team point standings instead of brackets.
The result: Notre Dame leads with 34 points based on sports completed so far, with baseball, girls soccer, boys and girls track, boys tennis and boys golf still to go.
Herculaneum is second with 20 (thanks to its sweep of the boys and girls cross country meet), and Farmington is third with 12.
Crystal City, Jackson, Potosi and St. Vincent are tied at fourth with 10 points each. Festus is next with 9. Nine schools (Delta, Hayti, NMCC, Ste. Genevieve, Saxony Lutheran, Scott County Central, South Iron, Thayer and Winona) have 8 points each.
Thirty-nine schools have scored points so far based on playoff appearances.

I think conference titles, and overall wins should be judged.
I think it is a pretty goo formula. The only flaw is the fact that the larger schools (Jackson, Poplar Bluff, etc.) have to play in a larger class, therefore, having more competition. I don't think that is factored in. Other than that, it seems like a pretty good formula. I like the fact that all sports are treated equal, even if some get more publicity than others.
That's not a valid argument. Small schools (Bell City, Scott Central, etc.) have maybe 100 kids and bigger schools (Jackson, Poplar Bluff, Central) have over a thousand. Therefore, the bigger schools have MANY more kids to choose from and thus are expected to have more talented teams.
I agree with you that it's good that all sports are on the same level. That way some schools have more of a chance to hang in the standings (Herky, for example, with cross country).
Good job, Jamie. I've never seen anything like this, but I love it.
I agreed with u on that about small schools, until you said Bell City and Scott County who clearly have chose their players in the past. For the recored have nothing against schools or the players because they have been fun to watch and produced great players who have had success at next level. I also like this
