Iowa HS Scores -these scores are what the ratings are based upon. Here are the same scores in a much more legible MS Works Spreadsheet sorted by team (download and view with Works). Please email scores in the following format so that they can easily be read by my ratings program as it would take too much time to retype scores. Please copy team names from the current scores so that the names are identical (capitalization matters). PROPER FORMAT: Team A Name comma Team A State comma Team A Score comma Team B Name comma Team B State comma Team B Score comma date played(yearmonthday). e.g. Padua,OH,4,Bowling Green,OH,2,20001209 Scores will be posted ASAP, new ratings based upon those new scores will be posted each week, time permitting. 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. 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 between different ratings lists). New scores and ratings will be posted each week, time permitting.
