Poll Process

General Overview

The polls are administrated by the Collegiate Water Polo Association. There are four polls
released on a weekly basis by this organization. Other organizations may also have polls of
their own. The polls released by the CWPA include:

Top 20 Varsity-any varsity team in the country is eligible (NCAA and NAIA)

Top 10 Division III-any varsity Division III team in the country is eligible

Top 20 Collegiate Club-any collegiate club in the country is eligible (Big Ten, CWPA)

Top 10 CWPA-any varsity CWPA member is eligible

Distribution

Varsity polls are released to nationwide media outlets and posted on the CWPA website
every Wednesday by 5:00 PM EST. United States Water Polo has permission to
reprint the poll on their website as well.

Collegiate Club and CWPA Top 10 polls are posted on the CWPA website and are
not released to media outlets.

Pollsters

Each poll has a set of pollsters that rank the teams. For example, there are 10 pollsters
that rank the varsity Top 20 polls. These pollsters represent all areas of the country
and are drawn from each of the conferences and independents that make up collegiate
water polo.

The pollsters must be official representatives of their institutions and can be either
coaches or staff from the Sports Information office.

They maintain their position unless there are consistent discrepancies in their voting,
demonstrating either an obvious bias or a lack of understanding of the process.

New pollsters are selected through a nomination process and chosen by the staff of
the Collegiate Water Polo Association.

Ranking

Pollsters examine scores and rank teams in light of these results. They are charged
with ranking the teams to the best of their abilities without considering their subjective
feelings about the strength of a team or individual factors affecting a team’s performance,
such as injury or illness to specific athletes. Past history may affect the rankings, although
the most recent scores bear more weight than earlier results.

 

Results

Only those scores received on Monday are considered for the week’s poll. Any scores
received in the office after this time are reviewed for the following week’s poll. Scores can
be emailed, faxed or phoned to the office before Monday at 12:00 Noon EST.
