For a myriad of reasons, a team may not run their top runners at a meet. Instead, their JV competes in the varsity spots. Sometimes this is designated in the team results (School JV), but more often than not it isn't. This could cause confusion to ranking committee members who see team results that don't reflect the true strength of a team. For this site's purposes, it has NO IMPACT on team rankings. Team rankings are derived by individual ratings. Those varsity members will maintain their ratings - and subsequent ranking - as long as they are competing at least once every two weeks.
