It's Cherry Pickin' Time

The girls play their sixth game of the season tonight in Cherry. It seems like they haven't played in forever as their last game was a week ago at Orr. Let's hope the long break didn't make the girls lazy! I doubt it!

I'll post a little bit later when Minnesota Scores comes out with their first QRF ranking for the girls' season. It will be interesting to see where the girls end up!

The QRF is figured as follows: (for those of you that don't know or would like to know what in the world the QRF is!)

QRF Explained (taken from Minnesota Scores website)

The Quality Results Formula (QRF) was created to try and rank teams from different parts of the state. I won't go into specific detail about the formula, but can give you an idea of how it works.

Each game is given an individual QRF based on four things (listed in order of importance)

- Win or Loss
- Opponent wins
- Class differential between the teams
- Margin of victory (or defeat) with a cap on both ends

Logically, the more wins an opponent has, the higher your opponents Class is, and the more you win by the higher your iQRF is for that game.

When all of a team's iQRF's are added together and divided by the number of MN games played, you come up with a team's QRF. *only MN vs. MN games count.

This number is then compared to other teams in the state to come up with an overall ranking.

So there it is...the QRF Explained courtesy of Minnesota Scores.
