This time around, I’ve added Michigan State’s HFT mirror, the Western Kentucky Hilltopper Invitational, the Duke Annual Fall Tournament, and the Bill Currie Memorial (I forgot to input the stats to the text display below, but it’s in my database and wouldn’t have resulted in any changes to the rankings).

I’ve added stats for the Georgia HFT mirror, Vanderbilt ABC 41, Siouxper Bowl VIII, Matt Cvijanovich Memorial Tournament, BRAVE Falcon, Bull Bowl, Harvard Fall Tournament, and ACF Fall Yale. I’ve also dropped teams outside of my top 25 that have no stats yet from the rankings.

I need to re-evaluate the difficulty of sets. Expect this in the next update. I may delay this next update by a week or two.

Changes this week: I added the results of the Centerville and Olmsted Falls FKT mirrors, the Virginia Cav Classic, and the Tournament of Righteous Justice (no teams from this one, though the top two are not too far outside of the current cutoff). I also tried to establish the difficulty of different sets a little more clearly, and reevaluated split teams like Ladue and Hoover.

Edit 1: I removed a duplicate Cave Spring, combined their stats, adjusted the rankings behind them, and moved Maclay back in.

The number after the name of a set indicates the adjustment. Higher positive numbers indicate a difficult set; “higher” negative numbers indicate an easier set. You can use these values with a team’s ppb to get a rule of thumb adjustment for their stats to compare with performances on a NAQT Invitational Series set.

Note that these are approximate. If it’s early in a season, it’d be more fair to call some of these guesses.

Note that if/when these are adjusted, it can result teams to move in the rankings, perhaps significantly.

BDAT +0
IS +0
OLEFIN -2
HSAPQ -2
IS A set -4
FKT -5

Eh, got bored.

Edit: Forgot Ardsley, specifically after thinking “I’ll have to remember Ardsley.” Whoops! This is corrected now.

Info will be stuck here. Requested questions will be answered as they are relevant and as time allows. Continue reading →

Only have results for one tournament to add, that being the UIUC Earlybird on OLEFIN. That produced enough stat lines where I didn’t want to just go with 55, so I slid the next couple of teams in from the bottom.

I’ve removed Cistercian B from the rankings since the main scorer for that team is going to be on their A team most of the time. I’ve moved their A team up accordingly.

IMSA gets a bit of a boost from a strong performance, and I resist the urge to move Auburn even higher given that their team was short two of their top players. Still going to wait for Bellarmine and Centennial to actually play something, for now at least.

After that, Latin School, New Trier, Macomb, and Rock Bridge all move in pretty much as one group.

I’ve added the Texas Kickoff Classic, OLEFIN, and PHSAT to this post.

I’m guessing right now that OLEFIN and HSAPQ 22 are each about 2 ppb easier than IS107.

Will DCC appear? Will Hunter stay in first? Will a middle school be ranked? Will I finish this sent
