Standings are aimed to be released by the end of every Tuesday.
In the 2020 Season, we have 23 technical upsets in 71 ranked matches (67.61% success rate) across 10 events.
The Gonzalez System is a computer ranking model similar to Elo and is a rating exchange system based on research performed by World Rugby. It has been adapted by the NCDA to the demands of College Dodgeball, but can be tuned and customized endlessly to incorporate accurate data. It has been used to help determine seeds for the Nationals bracket since Nationals 2014, and was used exclusively for the each Nationals bracket since 2017.

With two technical upsets and the only blemish being an overtime loss to BGSU, the Bearcats of UC once again find themselves climbing up the ranks this week. The 2nd year team has seen quick growth in a short period of time thanks to the play of players like Brett Liming and Brannon McGinn.
BGSU also saw a healthy gain thanks mostly to their technical upset over SVSU. The Falcons have had a relatively up and down year, but they lead the league in games played so far this year with 12 total. That experience seems to be helping them in some big games.
