> Also, can you share the VHSL formula?
Below is the short short [sic] version of how the VHSL Football Power Points work:
1.
Game Points: A team gets 26 points for a win against a 6A team, 14 points for a loss against a 6A team. 24 points for a win against a 5A team, 12 points for a loss against a 5A team. And so on.
2.
Bonus Points: A team also gets bonus points for every game they play based on a combination of
a) the number of wins their opponent has and
b) whether they win or lose each game.
If a team
wins a game, they get 2 bonus points for each win the team they defeated has. For example, if you defeat a team that is 2-8 for the season you get 4 bonus points (2 wins x 2 bonus points/win).
If a team
loses a game, they get 1 bonus point for each win the team they lost to has. For example, if you lose to a team that is 8-2 for the season you get 8 bonus points (8 wins x 1 bonus point/win).
3.
Classification Points VHSL also gives bonus points for a higher classification team playing a lower classification team. If a 6A team plays a 5A team
within their own DISTRICT they get 2 bonus points. This way they are not penalized for playing a lower classification team at all. If 6A team plays a 5A team
outside their own DISTRICT they get 1 bonus point. This partially makes up for playing a lower classification.
Examples
Westfield
Game #1 (Westfield 30, Washington-Lee 10)
1. Game Points: Win against 6A team = 26 points
2. Bonus Points: Washington-Lee has 1-2 record. Formula = 1 win x 2 points/win = 2 points
3. Classification Points: 6A vs 6A = no points
Total: 28 points
Game #2 (South County 26, Westfield 19)
1. Game Points: Loss against 6A team = 14 points
2. Bonus Points: South County has 3-0 record. Formula = 3 wins x 1 point/win = 3 points
3. Classification Points: 6A vs 6A = no points
Total: 17 points
Game #3 (Westfield 21, T.C. Williams 6)
1. Game Points: Win against 6A team = 26 points
2. Bonus Points: T.W. Williams has 1-2 record. Formula = 1 win x 2 points/win = 2 points
3. Classification Points: 6A vs 6A = no points
