Re: Winning versus scoring

While I don't know the exact method NAQT uses, I am
fairly certain this is incorrect.

As near as I
can tell, the strength-of-schedule factor takes the
from X/K: X varies from team-to-team, while K is the
average SOS for all teams.

The correction affects
the way teams are ordered *between* sectionals. It
has no bearing on the order *within* a
sectional.
