Welcome
Welcome to the Section VI Power Ratings home page! A site dedicated to following Section VI of the NYSPHSAA and the Monsignor Martin league. This project spawned from a deep love of high school sports and the level of competition that comes with it. The goal of this site is to serve as a cool resource to see how teams stack up against each other throughout the season.

How are the power ratings calculated?
A team's power rating (PR) is calculated from the sum of their Margin of Victory (MOV) and Strength of Schedule (SOS):
MOV: a team's average adjusted* margin of victory for their qualified games**
SOS: a team's strength of schedule based on the power ratings of their qualified opponents**
* raw margins of victory are capped at a certain value for each sport to reduce the effects of blowouts
** only games against opponents from Section VI or Monsignor Martin (varies by sport) are analyzed

What do the power ratings actually represent?
A team's power rating represents how much better or worse they are than average. Comparing power ratings will provide the projected outcome if two teams were to play each other. If Team 1 has a power rating of +20 and Team 2 has a power rating of +10, then Team 1 would be projected to win the game by 10.

Are these ratings used for sectional seeding?
No, this site has no affiliation with Section VI. These ratings are merely here for fun. That said, I believe these ratings provide a much better picture of team strength than the method currently used for sectional seeding.
