Teams listed W-L-T record reflects only games whose score is listed on the 2002-2003 Illinois 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. The Last 5 column is a simple average performance of that team in the last five games based on current opponent Total values and goal differential (up to max allowed). Obviously, the fewer games a team's ranking is based upon the less likely that ranking is to be accurate. * indicates teams with only two game scores used to calculate rating. --- indicates teams with only one game scores used to calculate rating.

High School Hockey Forums More information about how the ratings are calculated and their past accuracy can be found here . As of 12/18/02 the Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois rankings and a regional ranking that includes teams from all three states are all calculated simultaneously from the same scores file. This allows games between interstate opponents from these states to affect each others ratings based on their rating in the adjacent state.
