GAVA:

In causing all this discussion with your smart-ass comments about losing points you completely overlooked what I was pointing you to in Ralph's post. There was an adjustment in the way we calculated .6666666 opponents. THAT'S your change.

Sheesh. Don't bring the ODAC women's board smarminess over here.

GAVA - also be advised that is you played a team earlier in the year that had a stellar record and was worth 15 QOWI points... BUT that team you played fell apart and finished below .500... that game NO longer worth 15 points... but maybe 11!  You could lose points for teams falling apart!

Ask some of the mid-atlantic men's teams about how they thought their wins over Salisbury were going to help them... when they did just the opposite in the end!

Excuse you Pat. I have made no SMART ASS remarks ever. I was truly trying to understand how RMC and VWC lost points in the rankings after their first rounds victories in the ODAC tournament. Ralph has explained it that it was due to the weakness of the #7 and #8 seeds in the tourney. I still have no idea what you mean by adjustments and .6666 ????
Your apology is accepted in advance.

GAVA, Pat's computer program (before about Wednesday) took the raw data of schools with records of 12-6, gave them a won-loss percentage of .667 and awarded them the highest stratum in games against them, i.e., a 15 point road win or a 7 point road loss.  As he worked the calculations he found that the NCAA computer was interpreting a 12-6 record as .666666666... and the software logic saw that .66666.... was less than .667 and therefore was worth only 13 points for a road win and 5 points for a road loss.  That threw off the calculations for multiple teams, all thruout the program.

That has been some of the consternation that we fans have had with the NCAA this season. 

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh

GAVA... do you read what people post?

We have been going on the assumption of .667 is the cut off... but since the NCAA takes that all the way down to .66666 that could actually push some teams below a certain point level. Thus... the QOWI up until recently would need to be adjusted and teams would LOSE POINTS!!!

As for beating a #7 or #8... if they are both below .500... the points earned for that victory will certainly be below 10... thus the average your team has FALLS. Because those top teams have QOWI's above 10 most likely. Do you understand the math? The QOWI is an AVERAGE... not a complete total. So if you are averaging a 10.000 and the next game adds only 9 points to your QOWI... your new number is going to be lower... since 9 is below your AVERAGE.

Also... if you played a team earlier in the year and earned 15 points lets say... but they fell apart and are below .500... then you don't get those 15 points anymore... you get maybe 11... you lost four points on your total that the average comes from.

Yes I read the post Ralph wrote explaining that the ODAC first round wins were worth only 9 points thus reducing RMC's and VWC's rankings.

Then GAVA - if you read the post I don't understand why you still ask why the top teams lost points!

Ralph!  Should I assume Maryville's losing to Piedmont keeps the Scots out?

I haven't ask since Ralph's explanation. When do Pat and you begin your civility class?

Doug, I think that it puts you into contention for a Pool C bid opposite ETBU and maybe HSU.

If VWC and Oglethorpe both win their tourneys tomorrow, then I think those teams end up in the mysterious secret Final Regional Rankings, and you have wins over both!  (That is a criterion.)  Your QOWI is weak. Your won-loss percentage in South Region games is strong.

Did you delete a post that read, in part, "how many points are we going to lose today?" It was here a little bit ago but now is gone.

That was what I was referencing.

Nothing deleted. Post # 144. At that point I was wondering if having to play the # 5 and #6 seeds in the semis were also going to cost points. Ralph responded it wouldn't.I am going to overlook your's and Dmac's rudeness as you are both young enough to be my sons.

Your apology is accepted in advance.

Did you delete a post that read, in part, "how many points are we going to lose today?" It was here a little bit ago but now is gone.

That was what I was referencing.

Nothing deleted. Post # 144. At that point I was wondering if having to play the # 5 and #6 seeds in the semis were also going to cost points. Ralph responded it wouldn't.I am going to overlook your's and Dmac's rudeness as you are both young enough to be my sons.


and post # 146.
