HOW?
|
| Team Rankings
are calculated using a formula designed to place great emphasis on a
team's record against the top teams.
|
|
For example, taking 2 teams with same record, the team with a higher win percentage against the top teams will be ranked higher.
As well as the team with the higher point differential against top teams given even greater consideration.
|
| Player Rankings
are calculated using a variation of the standard Player Efficiency Rating.
However, adjusted slightly to place the same emphasis, if not more, on defense as offense.
|
|
For example, given 2 players averaging around the same amount of points, the player averaging more steals and/or blocks and/or rebounds stands a far better chance
of being ranked higher.

WHO?

Rankings are calculated
based on the skill level
of the division.
A division can be designated as Amateur, Pro or All Star. Not to be confused with your parent league (ie. Tom's Basketball League).
Tom's League can have multiple divisions within it (ie. 6' and Under, 30 and Over, Gold, etc.).
So, for example, the Gold division can be designated as a certain skill level. You

|
So, for example, the 6' and Under division can be designated as 'Pro' skill level. You can also have a 6' and Under 'Amateur' skill level if you want.
|
All teams & players in a particular skill level are ranked within
that skill level.
|
|
WHEN?
|
Rankings are calculated every
Tuesday, on a quarterly basis.
- Quarter 1: January through March
- Quarter 2: April through June
- Quarter 3: July through September
- Quarter 4: October through December
|
|
Rankings are
not calculated the first two weeks
of a quarter.
|
Teams & Players
must play in a
minimum of four (4) games by week 8
and / or
minimum six (6) games by week 11

it is good practice to schedule seasons within a given quarter,
for the purposes of quarterly rankings and quarterly National Awards.
