Explanation - Strength of Schedule Ratings

Purpose:
  • To determine court difficulty in relation to the rest of the league.
  • To use as part of a universal league ranking system.
Baseline:
  • Players are given a 1 to 10 rating (10 best) at the beginning of the session.
  • The ratings are used in determining a court's rating.
  • The rating can be adjusted during the session.
  • If adjusted, only court ratings going forward are affected.
Court Ratings:
  • Each court is assigned a point value between 4 and 40.
  • The court rating is typically the sum of the 4 players' ratings.
    • Exception (4-player court): If there is a lone player with a rating at least 1 point lower than the third best player, then that player's value becomes the same as the highest rated on the court - adjusts for difficulty winning with weaker player.
    • Exception (5-player court): The five ratings are totaled and the sum is divided by 5 and then multipled by 4 & rounded to determine the court's rating value.
    • Exception (5-player court): If either 1 or 2 player's ratings are lower than the third best player, then one of those player's values becomes the same as the highest rated on the court.
Calculating "adjusted rank":
  • Represent winning percentage as 0 to 100 number.
  • Multiply that number times the average court rating to get point total.
  • Highest point total is first.
