The Unofficial Tournament Rankings For The 2016 Season
As a reminder: while these are unofficial rankings, teams tournament point index is found using the DIAA formula and includes the records of out-of-state teams for strength of schedule.
Notes On Tournament Rankings:
The ranking number for each school is found using the DIAA formula and is a combination of a school's win-loss record and their strength of schedule.**Regarding strength of schedule - how a team's opponents do influences a team's tournament ranking number. For example, if Team A plays Team B who is undefeated, even if Team A loses, they gain "extra points." A team's "extra points" is added to their win/loss record, giving them their tournament ranking.
**Per my calculations:
| # | School | Tournament Ranking |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cape Henlopen | 1.43333 |
| 2 | Polytech | 1.366667 |
| 3 | Tower Hill | 1.266667 |
| 4 | Charter | 1.233333 |
| 5 | Caravel | 1.233333 |
| 6 | Archmere | 1.166667 |
| 7 | Caesar Rodney | 1.133333 |
| 8 | Ursuline | 1.10714 |
| 9 | St. Andrew's | 1.066667 |
| 10 | Smyrna | 0.966667 |
