Today, Clippd published the first edition of the new National Collegiate Golf Rankings devised by Professor Mark Broadie for the NCAA. The rankings cover teams and individuals competing in NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA tournaments.

The guiding principles of the new ranking system are fairness, accuracy and transparency. We have shared Mark Broadie’s detailed breakdown of the new college golf ranking system, and his answers to an extensive list of FAQs. You can also now watch a video of Professor Broadie covering this information.

Publishing the new college rankings based on complete tournament data was the first objective Clippd set out to achieve after being asked to take over scoring and ranking services by the NCAA in mid-October.

Since then, Clippd has published results for 100% of NCAA Division I, II and III fall season tournaments, and 98% of all NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA tournaments that have taken place in the same period.

“Publishing the new National Collegiate Golf Rankings is the first step in delivering an improved experience for the entire college golf community,” said Piers Parnell, CEO and co-founder of Clippd. “In time, this enhanced experience will include new and impactful data insights on college teams and players.”

If you discover inaccuracies in your tournament data, please email support@clippd.io and we will correct them. The corrections will be reflected in the next edition of the rankings, which will be published weekly.
