CHRVA uses the AES national rankings. They are the only rankings that include all of a team's match results against other AES teams. USAV rankings generally only include USAV sanctioned tournaments (no AAU, JVA or LOVB). While CHRVA is obviously a USAV region the USAV rankings are essentially brand new and has some issues. The AES national ranks incorporate a lot more strength of schedule data into the ranking and make it harder to be ranked highly even though you are only competing in local tournaments.  For example, Capital Hill and Triple Crown aren't sanctioned USAV events and aren't included in the USAV results. But you are facing tougher competition at both of those tournaments than a typical local CHRVA tournament or even a USAV qualifier in the lower divisions (see the CHRVA teams who competed in American divsions and faced a lot of 1000+ national ranked teams, resulting in a very good USAV ranking but a national ranking 400 or more ranks lower).

For the teams that compete at the upper levels of USAV qualifiers (Open, USA and Liberty depending on the strength of the qualifier) the USAV ranks are generally pretty accurate though and map reasonably well to the AES national ranks.[/quote]

Makes sense - thank you!
Appreciate the explanation.[/quote]
