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

# Galax, G. Wythe & Rural Retreat only have 9 games,  
  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.

         2019/20 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 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.)

                       TIEBREAKERS :

1. beat all other teams tied with
2. better record against all common opponents
3. any opponent had an effective 9 game schedule
      (this basically means 9 games for ratings purposes) 
4. highest winning percentage against rating scale-recognized opponents
      (more commonly called best overall record)
5. highest average rating of all opponents
6. highest average rating of VHSL opponents 
7. draw by lots by the Regional chair or Group chair
