For those who have enquired about voting, here is a recent
post from MLive on how voting is handled by the
Competitive Cheer Ranker.

Dear
Coaches and MHSAA Officials,

With the
MHSAA Girl’s Competitive season in full swing so are our weekly CC state
rankings.  We need your help in
continuing to make our rankings a success!  The response over the years has grown
huge with more and more voters registering every year.  Remember, there is no exact science to
rankings and that they are just for fun! DON’T GET ALL BENT!  These are only opinions and meant to
give our sport further exposure in the media like other winter sports teams.

Register!

All
coaches and officials are welcome to vote each week in our rankings. You must
register with either your MHSAA School I.D. number or your Officials I.D. in
order for your votes to count. Send your registration and then votes each
week to [email-masked]
.  Votes are due by 5:00pm each
Sunday night during the season with results usually hitting MLive and the media around the following Tuesday.

What to
Do!

Rank the
teams in each Class A, B and C/D from 1-10. Points are awarded based on your
individual rankings.  10 Points
for each 1st place vote 9 for 2nd and so on down.  Each team’s points are totaled
from all votes received and then ranked 1-10 accordingly.

Media!

If you
would like us to send the state rankings each week to your local paper simply
email us the contact email and we will add it to our mail list.  Several papers from around the state
publish our rankings each week!  Our
first rankings will come out the week of Dec. 12th so get those registrations
going fast!  Since we have only
had two competition weeks think of this first ranking as a “pre season”
ranking. Good luck to everyone this season and have fun with this.
