Qualifying
Any school that qualifies to an NCAA tournament qualifies to The Dannemiller Index in the division that the tournament is.
The exception to this is NC championships, which for this Index, are considered D1.
Therefore, D2 or D3 schools can be ranked in multiple divisions if they qualify to an NC championship.
For wrestling, schools must have at least 2 wrestlers at the national championship to qualify.
Scoring
A school's score consists of two main parts: regular season scores and tournament scores.
For most sports, normal score is the number of games won in the entire season divided by a constant, and tournament score is the round in the national tournament reached.
Classification
Schools are further classified into the following classes: D1: (A, AA, AAA, E) D2: (B, BB, BBB) D3: (C, CC, CCC)
Every sport is classified as "green," "yellow," or "red" based on the number of schools in that sport in that division.
To find a schools class, the number of sports a school has is divided by (# of green sports + 1/2 the # of yellow sports). This new value is Sports%.
A sports% higher than or equal to 1 limits a school to A, B, or C.
A sports% higher than .75 excludes a school from AAA, BBB, CCC, or E
If a school has two D1 sports or less, that school is considered class E.
