[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course Metro always wants to get Open bids so congrats to Paramount on that achievement, but if your contention is that Paramount 16s going 3-7 and coming in 33rd in Open was a better tournament performance than Metro 16 Travel going 9-2 and coming in 2nd in National or Paramount 15s going 1-8 and coming in 29th in Open was a better tournament performance than Metro 15 Travel going 11-0 and coming in 1st in National, I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree.

Let's look at the national rankings of the teams these Metro and Paramount 15, 16 teams played against at Nationals:

Metro 15 Travel is ranked 18th nationally, and they beat 11 teams in the 15 National Division, with these national rankings: 
232 W, 186 W, 100 W, 452 W, 90 W, 87 W, 108 W, 61 W, 29 W, 10 W, 47 W

Paramount 15-1 is ranked 116th nationally, and their record in the 15 Open Division is:
5 L, 3 L, 26 L, 25 L, 38 L, 33 W, 39 L, 32 L, 16 L

Metro 16 is ranked 39 nationally, and their record in the 16 National Division is:
214 W, 408 W, 193 W, 169 W, 17 L, 195 W, 101 W, 49 W, 58 W, 17 W, 11 L

Paramount 16-1 is ranked 38 nationally, and their record in the 16 Open Division is:
1 L, 52 W, 98 L, 6 L, 7 L, 50 W, 24 L, 104 L, 184 W, 179 L

It's obvious the competition in Open is tougher.

I don't know the teams well, and I know the rankings are not perfect. But based on these rankings, I can make these rough observations:

Metro 15 (18) underperformed because it should have been in the Open (top 36 teams).

Paramount 15-1 (116) overperformed because it made into the Open.

Metro 16 (39) beat teams ranked below it and one team ranked above it (17), so you can say it overperformed.

Paramount 16-1 (38) made into the Open (top 36 teams), but it underperformed in the Open as it lost to a number of teams ranked below it.[/quote]

AES rankings mean nothing. It’s just an algorithm. USAV doesn’t even use AES rankings to seed the Open Divisions [/quote]
