Final Rankings for Round Robin Events with Pools and Playoffs

This serves as general knowledge for tournament directors looking for info on how our software determines final rankings with round robin events with multiple pools along with playoffs:

Round Robin to Medal Round

Each pool is ranking based on the following

1. Wins
2. Head to Head
3. Point Differential within entire bracket
4. Point DIfferential within just the head to head
5. Point DIfferential against the next highest team
   

Multiple Pools

1. After the internal pool ranking is completed we then take teams and rank them for the playoff medal round
2. Example:
   

• If there are 3 pools of 5 and the top 3 teams from each pool are moving to the playoff medal round the teams would be ranked accordingly

1. All the #1s will be ranked 1,2,3
2. All the #2s will be ranked 4,5,6
3. All the #3s will be ranked 7,8,9
4. All the #4s will be ranked 10,11,12
5. All the #5s will be ranked 13,14,15

• Then to rank all the #1s, #2s and so on.

1. Win %
   We use percentage because this could be a multi pool round robin. If pools are uneven then using a win percentage evens comparison and calculates correctly for even or uneven pools.
2. Point Differential %
   We use percentage because this could be a multi pool round robin. If pools are uneven then using a point differential percentage evens the comparison and calculates correctly for even or uneven pools.
