Power Ranking System

District One Seeding and Power Ranking System

(All schools on your schedule are included in your calculations)
• WIN POINTS - 5 points for each win
• SCHEDULE POINTS - Winning percentage of each opponent on your schedule x 5
• BONUS POINTS - The winning percentage of the team that your team Defeated x 12
The Power Rating is determined by dividing the sum of the win points, schedule points, and bonus points by the number of the games you played.

If a fewer number of contests are played, then the established minimum number contests. The established minimum number will be the divisor. The PIAA District 1 Committee has authority to waive the minimum if there are extenuating circumstances.

  • Basketball – 22 PIAA Max # of contests / Minimum divisor 18 contest.

Tournament winners follow the bracket.  Teams are not re-seeded as the tournament advances.

Note: Post-season games for non-District One opponents can count towards the team's overall records. However, District One school's Post-Season League Playoff and Championship games do not count towards the power ranking system.

Final Rankings are Unofficial until 12:00 the day after the Seed Meeting
