Re: NHSD Columbus Ohio - 10/15/11

Just like a normal tourney, with enough players, you can loose a game and still win the tourney or easily come in the top 4. Also, wait to see if the Columbus crew decides to through in a bracketed semi-finals and finals for the final four - it seems like that they are leaning that way but not sure. Also if you use win difference as the top factor as opposed to winning %, if you can get in more games but loose one or two, you are better off then playing less games but being undefeated.

Alternative ranking algorithms. Should win difference be higher priority than win percentage? (Is 5-1 better than 3-0?) When using win difference, is win percentage or number of wins the appropriate secondary criterion? (Is 6-2 better than 5-1?) Should points remaining be collated to add another criterion? (Is 5-1 with a points differential of 530 sufficiently different to 5-1 with a points differential of 450 to be worth everyone collecting that information?) Any and all of the criteria can be put into the order of your choosing to determine placings. If using win percentage, you will probably also want a minimum number of games, say three, to qualify. Anyone with fewer than this number of games adds losses to reach the total.

Strength of Schedule. Calculate the average of your opponents' win percentages. This is your strength of schedule. This can be added into the list of criteria for determining placings.
