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 a whopping 4.59, the lowest being just 4.35.
Flight 4 with Caribbean, Middle States, New England, and Texas does not have the highest rated teams, but may be the toughest flight to get out of with the #5, #6, #7, and #10 rated teams.
Flight 3 with Florida, Missouri Valley, Pacific Northwest, and Southwest is the next strongest with the #1 and #2 rated teams, but also has the #14 and #17 teams.
Flight 2 with Hawaii, Northern, Southern, and Southern California is similar with the #3 and #4 teams, but also #12 and #15.
Flight 1 with Eastern, Intermountain, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Northern California will be competitive with the #8, #9, #11, #13, and #16 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.
