When will be the first Power Rankings come out on LSL for Baseball/Softball in 2018? Last year, the first power rankings came out the last week in February. Speaking of the power rankings: I believe the LHSAA handbook is wrong in regards to the formula. You have to divide the total number of games played for said school after you get the total number of power points. I don't know why this isn't explicitly stated. Maybe LSL is waiting on this? The way it's written now, a team playing more games would have a better chance of having more power points and the number of games played wouldn't matter. |

I have no idea how the baseball power ranking system works. I was told by someone in the KNOW that baseball is different than football cause it puts more emphasis on wins and not so much strength of schedule, so you can play an easier schedule in baseball and it wont hurt you as much as football. Is this true? Or did I get some faulty information? |

Is this true? Or did I get some faulty information? They are very similar formulas. 20 points for wins in baseball as opposed to 10 points for wins in football. You get bonus points for playing up, just like football. And you get a point for every win your opponents pick up. In football, the number of wins is divided by the number of games for each opponent, but it's very similar. |

Is this true? Or did I get some faulty information? Schedule strength has to be a factor because opponents wins are included in the formula. It doesn't say it in the formula but i don't see how they could not divide a team's total points by the number of games played. There is an even bigger discrepancy in the number of games that teams play in baseball. Especially with games cancelled by rain outs and some teams being invited to more tournaments than other teams. Teams are allowed to play up to 34 regular season games but a lot teams don't even get close to 34. I may be wrong but i don't see how it could be exactly as it's written. |

I read in the rule book 20 points for every win. Add 2 points for each class up.
A loss = 0 points but add 2 points for each class up.
I don't understand football PowerPoints. Won't even pretend I understand baseball's pp system.

The power point formula is pretty simple.
20 points for a win
0 points for a loss
Add: 2 points for each class played up each game
Add: # opponents wins
Divide by the number of games played (I don't see this in the handbook, but it has to be the case as it has been in the past ...otherwise the team that played the most games would have an advantage)......or maybe they didn't update it and will do an addendum like last year.)

Couldn't remember the part about adding opponents wins and dividing by the number of played games. And I'll never understand it. I'm gonna work smarter and not harder and wait for the information to be postedš¤£ I know when I'm outta my lane and power points would be one of them!! |

there are inherent biases in the system... since every game counts, some teams have no choice but to count bad teams in their district. not sure if they have the rule like basketball has where the winner of a game cannot ever get less points than the loser of said game
also another form of bias is some areas have more better small schools than others and less higher classification teams to play...
i sound like a broken record with this, but South LA teams might have a Bayou district, Northshore district, and one or two NOLA districts in every classification, while whole corners of the state have one district per class and have to play down more.
