Teams listed W-L-T record reflects only games whose score 
is listed on the Maine HS Scores page.  

  The program starts all teams with an equal arbitrary value and then 
adjusts them all recursively based on game scores until the lowest cumulative 
error between expected goal differentials and actual goal differentials is 
reached (convergence).  

   The Total column is in goal units and the difference in this value between 
any two teams is the predicted goal differential for a game played at a 
neutral site between those two teams.   It should be noted that due to goal
differential limits set in the ranking program these predicted goal differentials
are only accurate when comparing teams ranked within three goals of each other.
The differential between teams ranked farther apart becomes more and more
understated as the chosen teams become farther apart in the rankings. 

 A teams Total value only has meaning 
in relation to other teams in the same list (i.e. Totals cannot be compared 
from one week to the next or directly to a ratings list for another state).

     Obviously, the fewer games a team's ranking is based upon the less likely  
that ranking is to be accurate.

As of 1/8/05 games between teams that are ranked more than 5 goals apart are not used in calculating
either team's ranking.

Since some "mismatch" games are not used in determining the rankings, the Sched column can be somewhat misleading 
as it only reflects the average opponent strength of only the opponents ranked within 4 goals of each team.

The GAMES Column indicates how many games each team's rating is based upon (i.e. how many of their games were against teams
rated within 4 goals of themselves).
