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 whopping top-8 average of 3.73(!) which makes the lowest of 3.44 seem awfully low, but that is still a strong team.
Flight 4 is likely the toughest with Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Southern California, and Texas and the teams rated #1, #4, #6, and #10.
Flight 2 is not far behind with Eastern, Hawaii, New England, and Southern and the teams rated #2, #3, #9, and #11.
Flight 1 is next with Florida, Intermountain, Middle States, Missouri Valley, and Northern which has the teams #5, #7, #12, #14, and #15.
Last is flight 3 with Caribbean, Northern California, Pacific Northwest, and Southwest having the teams rated #8, #13, #16, and #17.
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.
I appreciate the writeups. I'm curious to see how your ratings work with mixed.
ReplyDeleteI may do some previews for mixed, but using player's Adult ratings. I can calculate and estimate mixed exclusive ratings though if you are interested.
