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.
The top team has a top-8 average of 3.20 and the bottom just 2.88, but that team is from a section that is typically underrated.
Flight 7 appears to be the toughest with Eastern, Middle States, New England, and Southern California comprising the teams rated #2, #3, #9, and #12.
Flight 6 is next with Intermountain, Midwest, Southern, and Southwest comprising the teams rated #5, #6, #7, and #10.
Flight 8 with Missouri Valley, Northern, Pacific Northwest, and Texas has the #1 team and also #11, #13, and #14.
Last, flight 5 with Caribbean, Florida, Hawaii, Mid-Atlantic, and Northern California comprises the #4, #8, #15, #16, 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.
