The ratings used in preparing these previews are my Estimated Dynamic NTRP Ratings. And for the purposes of comparing teams, I'm calculating the average of the top-8 players on each National's roster.
There is a healthy range from the top to bottom with the top team having a top-8 average of 3.68, the lowest being just 3.48. Nearly every team averages over 3.5!
Flight 3 with Eastern, Middle States, New England, and Southern should be tough with the #4, #5, #6, and #11 teams.
Flight 4 with Missouri Valley, Northern, Pacific Northwest, and Texas is also tough with #2, #3, #12, and #16.
Flight 1 with Hawaii, Florida, Midwest, Northern California, and Southwest is next with the #1, #8, #9, #10, and #15 teams.
Flight 2 with Caribbean, Intermountain, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern California appears weakest with #17, #13, #14, and #17 teams.
If you'd like more details on any of the flights, I can generate a flight report for any of the them that will show the average rating for the roster and the top-8 average.
Or if you want to see details about a team including each player's rating and a summary of their record and courts played on the team through each phase of the season, a team report is a great resource for your team or any opponent as a tool to scout them.
Contact me if you are interested in any reports.
Note: As always, average ratings for a team does not win a team match. Who plays in the match, the line-ups and how they match-up, and how a given player plays on that day are what determine who wins. So the highest rated teams using top-8 average may or may not win, but it is interesting to look at.
