Jason, it's an interesting formula... but I think your Heartland 
Sectional calculations are a bit flawed.  For one thing, those teams 
should not get credit for the forfeit win vs. Wichita State (it 
should be completely taken out of the equation).  Also, wasn't the 
Heartland sectional the one where they played random extra games in 
addition to the round robin, because the 13th team didn't show up?  
That being the case, a strength of schedule adjustment may be needed.

Also, I think that the winning percentage factor may be a bit high.  
Whether or not it _should_ be that high is another issue, but as a 
long-time MAQT fan, I remember a 9-4 Maryland team that did not 
advance to the ICT (while a 6-7 team from another school did).  In 
other words, I'm not so sure that Truman State A, for example, is a 
shoo-in to make the field.

Finally, this year NAQT is taking 24 four-year and 8 two-year teams 
for the ICT, right?
