Evidence first
Official rankings will require a camp assessment, checked coach certification, the athlete’s division and a shared position-specific standard. Family-recorded feedback remains separate.
Each of the six criteria is scored from 1 to 5. Draft rating: total points ÷ 30 × 100. Star thresholds require calibration before official use.

5Exceptional
Fair comparisons
Rank within the same age division and primary position. Size, parent reports and premium payments do not determine a rating.
Keep a visible distinction between parent-provided information and independently reviewed evidence. Reassess as players develop.
