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 are three 5 team flights for the 3.0 Men as two sections are not sending teams. That means there should be a wildcard in the semis.
The top team has a top-8 average of 3.26 down to the lowest at 2.89.
Flight 2 appears to be the toughest with Caribbean, Eastern, Hawaii, Southern, and Southern California which includes the #1, #2, #6, #7, and #8 teams. Whew, getting out of this flight will be though and perhaps the wildcard comes from here.
Flight 1 has Middle States, Midwest, Northern California, Pacific Northwest, and Southwest which comprises the #4, #5, #12, #14, and #15 teams.
Flight 3 has Florida, Intermountain, Mid-Atlantic, Missouri Valley, and Texas which comprises the #3, #9, #10, #11, and #13 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.
