Raising the Standard for Athlete Evaluations
Extra Inning Softball continues to elevate its rankings process for the Class of 2032, combining advanced evaluation tools, verified performance data, and greater opportunities for athlete exposure. At the forefront is the MyEIS360™ Athlete Profile, which gives the Rankings Committee a more comprehensive view of each athlete’s abilities, accomplishments, and development.
Together, these enhancements reinforce EIS’s commitment to accurate, credible rankings while helping athletes gain the recognition they deserve.
5-Star Rating System: Recognizing Talent and Potential
Extra Inning Softball’s 5-Star Rating System adds another dimension to athlete recognition, providing valuable insight beyond traditional numerical rankings.
Each nationally ranked athlete will receive both an individual ranking and a 5-Star Rating, offering coaches, families, and evaluators a broader perspective on her current abilities, performance, and future potential.
Athletes will also be featured on Extra Inning Softball’s interactive rankings leaderboards, where college coaches, travel organizations, families, and fans can easily discover ranked players, explore their achievements, and follow emerging talent nationwide.
Individual Rankings. No Ties. Every Spot Earned.
For the Class of 2032, Extra Inning Softball remains committed to recognizing athletes through a comprehensive evaluation process that prioritizes verified statistics, competitive performance, consistency, and long-term development.
Unlike ranking systems that assign the same placement to multiple athletes, Extra Inning Softball does not allow tied rankings. Through its proprietary SERV™ Methodology, the National Rankings Committee carefully evaluates each athlete’s complete body of work to determine her individual national placement.
Every athlete earns her own ranking because every placement should reflect an individual evaluation.
“We’ve always believed athletes deserve an honest evaluation,” Holland said. “Each ranking is the product of months of research, discussion, verification, and collaboration. Every athlete earns her own spot through our process, which is why you’ll never see tied rankings from us.”
The Science Behind the Rankings: SERV™ Methodology
Extra Inning Softball continues to prioritize accuracy, consistency, and fairness through a comprehensive evaluation process that examines each athlete’s performance, development, and level of competition.
At the foundation of this process is Extra Inning Softball’s proprietary SERV™ Methodology, a four-part approach designed to strengthen the integrity of every ranking.
(S) Software — Utilizing proprietary technology to collect, organize, and analyze athlete nominations and performance data.
(E) Evaluate — Assessing athletic ability, competitive impact, and overall potential through detailed reviews by the National Rankings Committee.
(R) Research — Examining tournament competition, verified statistics, performance history, schedules, and long-term player development.
(V) Verify — Validating information through trusted statistical sources, regional experts, coach feedback, and multiple levels of committee review.
By combining technology, research, regional expertise, and collaborative evaluations, the SERV™ Methodology provides a structured framework for recognizing deserving athletes and maintaining the credibility of Extra Inning Softball’s national rankings.
