Larry, Our play-off assignments in Indiana are assigned by the IHSAA. The coaches get a form by which they rate any crew that they want to rate. A four rating is the best they can give you and a one is like a ding. I believe that most coaches are very concientious about their ratings, however, I'm sure that some give out low ratings because of grudges. In any case, the crews who don't get very far complain about the "politics" in lieu of trying to improve their people skills which, I'm sure influence ratings as much as anything.
