[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the U12-U14 data as well for Metro Central

2025
U12: 4/4
U13: 4/5
U14: 3/6

2024
U12: 3/3
U13: No Team
U14: 6/6

2023
U12: 3/3
U13: No Team
U14: 4/4

In the U12-U14 age group for the past two seasons, Central's teams were last compared to all other Metro teams 3/5 times. Across all ages they were last 7/11 times. The statement made above that "Central is historically the worst region in terms of performance" is true, at least based on national ranks.  In fact no other region is close to those numbers.  The next closes is Metro East with 4 teams at the bottom over the past two years.

I'm a newbie: please explain how regional rankings show a different order for each of these than national data? Doesn't national data just include a zillion more teams, but why would including more teams mean the CHRVA region teams' order of rankings is re-arranged? Also just FYI the way you listed this with no specific team data to compare what your posting makes it seem less reliable and less trustworthy. [/quote]
The regional rankings only use results against teams from the same region while the national rankings use all of a team’s results. So a team might be 15-3 against regional opponents while they are 20-15 overall. It’s generally assumed that the national rankings are a better indicator of how good a team really is.

Teams that are chasing bids to USAV nationals will often only play in the minimum number of regional tournaments required to qualify for bid regionals meaning they have very few results against regional opponents making the regional only rankings almost meaningless. That’s one of the reasons CHRVA uses national rankings in deciding who gets into bid regionals. [/quote]
