* Power points for a number of teams have been altered this week.
A 'brief' explanation follows :
The VHSL has an 'early' deadline of May 15 for schools to submit their
fall football schedules. Then they request schedules and enrollment numbers
from neighboring states, and put together the master schedule.
The enrollment numbers they receive, which are, of course, estimates,
become official for the purpose of power points. Therefore, even though
the KSSAA website says Besty Lane has 630 students (which is for grades 9-12),
the VHSL uses the number sent to them over the summer (500 in grades 9-11).
So, Grundy does not receive a bonus point for Prestonsburg's victory over Betsy Lane.
+ Now, the Ervinton situation.
Teams have until Sept. 15 to let the VHSL know of any changes to the
schedule they submitted in May. Giles & William Fleming did this, so
their game on Oct. 23rd counts. However, the VHSL says that Ervinton
did not submit the Sept. 24th game they scheduled against Phelps by
Sept. 15th, so the Rebels don't 'officially' get the win. HOWEVER,
for some strange reason, it DOES count as being worth 1 power point
to the teams that beat Ervinton. Unfortunately, this situation was
not programmed into the VHSL's ratings program, so the only way the
computer can award the power points is to credit Ervinton with a win.
Therefore, all teams have the correct number of points EXCEPT for
Ervinton.
cc - District co-champs (tiebreaker will determine who is named DC for seeding purposes)
DC = qualified as District Champion
Q = Qualified for playoffs based on points, but may be district champion
W = Wildcard qualifier
H = Host 1st round game
x = eliminated from playoff consideration
# - a number shows what seed has been determined
(these notations are NOT from the VHSL, but based on my personal computations)
* Altavista played 1 non-public school this season (Hargrave Military).
Games against non-public schools DO NOT COUNT in the power ratings,
which is actually the ratings points earned divided by
the number of games played against public schools.
Therefore, Altavista's 'total' is being multiplied by 1.111
to put them on an 'even keel' with the others.
Here's the out-of-state teams which will/may provide bonus points :
