# Appomattox & Liberty Christian both play ONE "non-public" school, 
  so their total is multiplied by 1.11 to put them on an even keel.

     And, no, I DIDN'T forget anything.  The averages ONLY mean something 
at the END of the season, so you won't find them here.  Knowing the point 
TOTALS along the way is MUCH more important.

         2017/18 VHSL Football Ratings Point scale
            (for games vs. public schools)


opponent Class :  6A    5A    4A    3A    2A    1A
                  --    --    --    --    --    --
if you win  :     26    24    22    20    18    16
if you lose :     14    12    10     8     6     4

              Rider points...
2 for each game won by a team you beat
1 for each game won by a team you lost to
   (this can also be stated as 1 per win by any opponent, 
         and 1 more per win by a team you beat)

Additional bonus points are given for playing a smaller school...
    2 points per Class difference 
(i.e. A 4A school that plays a 2A school gets 4 additional "gimme" points
 The VHSL's computer program adds these into the rider points column;
 I put them in the base points column, which is why our numbers don't match.)
