Base - "gimme" points for games won, lost
Wr - rider points from games Won
Lr - rider points from games Lost

# Rye Cove plays 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 means something 
AFTER the season is over, so you won't find them here.  Knowing the point 
TOTALS along the way is MUCH more important.

         2015/16 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, 
     1 additional per win by a team you beat)

Additional bonus points for given for player a smaller school...
    2 points per Class difference 
(i.e. A 3A school that plays 10 games vs. smaller schools
      would get 20 or 8 "gimme" points per game.
 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.)
