YorkSlam Rankings
How to read the rankings:
Information is listed in this order: Overall Rank. poetname – Placement Rank, Score Rank, Total Score
Example:
3. Poet Y – 2, 4, 6
(i.e. Poet Y is ranked 2nd in placement, 4th in score, resulting in a total score of 6, leaving Poet Y ranked 3rd overall)
In the calculations, poets who have slammed twice or more will always be ranked ahead of poets who have slammed once.

Rankings for YorkSlam are based upon the Frankson-Priske Ranking Method originally devised for Capital Slam in Ottawa. Each poet is ranked relative to other poets in two categories: placement (how a poet placed at the end of the night) and slam score (a poet’s best scoring performance at a specific show). For overall rankings, the Placement Rank and the Slam Rank are added together to find a Total Score. The poets are then ranked overall. The lower a score, the better the ranking.
