NATIONAL JUNIOR GOLF SCOREBOARD RANKINGS SYSTEM

The NJGS records 36 hole or longer tournaments. A player's ranking is made up of tournaments he/she has played in the last 365 days.

Eligibility
To be eligible to be ranked in The Junior Golf Scoreboard rankings a player must meet the following criteria:
-Have competed in four multi-day stroke play tournaments within the last 365 days for which they have received the results and the
players are listed by the same name and hometown.
-Have their high school graduation year in their tournament record.
-Still be in high school or prior to August 1st after graduation.
-Have competed in an age group that:
completes at least 36 holes,
has a minimum of 5 competitors that complete all scheduled rounds, and
has played from a minimum of 4,500 yards and not shorter than the forward most USGA rated tees.

How the rankings are computed
They use three criteria to compute a player's overall and against all players within their graduation class.
Individual scoring
For the 85% of the player's rounds that are his/her lowest scores, this is simply the average difference of their score compared to the
USGA rating of the courses they played in their tournaments. In other words how well does this player score when playing in
tournaments. This criteria counts for 65% of a player's ranking calculation.
Strength of field
The number displayed here is the result of our proprietary ranking formula that determines a score for all the tournaments played by this
individual. Again, simply put, a lower number means they played against stronger players and the closer two players' strength numbers
are, the more similar the competitiveness of their tournaments. This criteria counts for 25% of a player's ranking calculation.
Strength of finish
This table displays the finishes for the player. Finishes count 10% in the ranking computation and are weighted in accordance with the
number of players competed against or, in other words, the size of the field.
