The site displays rankings for Iowa girls 2A tennis players, doubles teams and school squads. Rankings begin in 1994, the first year Iowa adopted a two class system for girls high school tennis, and continue to the present. The rankings are calculated based on data collected for 35,000 singles and doubles matches played by over 4,600 players from 56 schools in 3,350 meets and 350 tournaments.
The method used to compute rankings is based on the Elo system, named after Arpad Elo, a Hungarian-born American physics professor, who devised a statistical system to rank chess players. See methodology for a detailed description of the application of the Elo system to IGHS-Tennis.
