GPS Sports Ranking (2013)

[George Smith]

This thread is intended to keep track and rank the results from the summer and winter sporting competitions within NSW AAGPS.

The scoring used is the reverse of the actual placing ie. 1st = 8pts, 8th = 1pt

I invite bloggers what the final points will be (by sport and overall) with your reasoning.

This is depressing

I have also been away for a while GS, however I am not sure how this will work given that the Rugby comp has been reduced to 6 teams in 1st and 2nd Grade. Unless Grammar and High are very good at running, especially across country, and shooting soccer players, you may as well take them off the table.

maybe we can get the shooters to do something random to rectify this?

What happened to rowing?

If shooting is in then debating should be too.
Neither are sports.
One thing your table already causes me to wonder is how grammar can hide behind the asserted roughness of rugby. They/we are shithouse in all sports.

maybe their sport is just being "good sports"?

 

[random2]

rowing ?

How many points in your table for that?
This has made me quite angry because it has confronted me with something that puts the lie to the excuses that have been made by the school.
There is simply no reason why people who are "smart"/academically inclined cannot also be good at sport - High prove that point: their selection criteria are more demanding

sorry H&T, Lachie Anderson & Josh Mitchell, by your account, are not close to qualifying. I guess there are 50-100 athletes ahead of him (as 2nds teams do not qualify for Athlete of the Year honour.

We are inviting submissions where the athlete has represented their school in the top team for at least 2 yrs AND across several sports to qualify. By top team I mean, they must qualify for sports colours which usually mean at least 3 of the following 1st XV, 1st VIII, 1st XI and for Athletics and Swimming they must be in the Senior Team and perform outstandingly (1st, 2nd) or have made the GPS Representative Team for more than one sport for 2 years.

I wish Lachie and Josh (and yourself) all the best in this year's HSC (or are you doing pathways?).

David Morris (NC)
1st XI (2011/12), 1st XV rugby (2011/12) and swimming (2011-13)

Ned Hanigan does not qualify as playing 1st XV in 2012, as he only played 1 competition game due to an injury to a 1sts player.

That's 5 minutes I'll never get back.
