The flights are made up of four teams, each from a different district for the most part, typically Eastern Washington, Northern Oregon, Northwest Washington, and Southwest Washington, but there are a few teams from Alaska and Southern Oregon thrown in as well and a few flights with two teams from a district where there were gaps and an extra wildcard was granted.
I can do flight previews for any of the 19 flights being played, and a flight preview includes the full roster average for each team, the top-8 average for each team, and a summary of what the average rating played by court is so you can see if teams tend to stack or not and if they are stronger in singles or doubles. And captains that have gotten these previews have done very well in playoffs, many advancing on including a handful that won Sectionals last weekend and are headed to Nationals.
As a free preview of one flight, here are the overall averages for Flight B of the 4.0 women.
| Team Name | Average Rating | 3.5 | 4.0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| HRSC-Dey | 3.75 | 0 | 3.75 |
| PTC-Zielinski/Vawter | 3.75 | 3.61 | 3.76 |
| TCSP-Crites | 3.7 | 0 | 3.7 |
| LRC Harris | 3.64 | 0 | 3.64 |
This is one of the more competitive flights with the average rating for each roster spanning just 0.11. But these are full roster averages and in one case include at least one 3.5 player on the roster, albeit a pretty good one(s), and it is who actually plays in a match that determines who wins, not the average rating of the roster. But from this, we can see that HRSC and PTC are probably the favorites in this flight.
If you are interested in another flight or want a full report showing the top-8 averages and average played by court, contact me.
