The philosophy behind the State Championship Program is to have the combatants themselves prove they are worthy of a top ranking. Movement in the rankings of top combatants should ultimately be based upon wins and losses and not on subjective criteria. For combatants to maintain top ranking, they should be, at the very least, active and competing against other ranked opponents. This type of ranking system is intended to increase activity among the top combatants of the state.
