Standings as of 2016-04-05

End of season is April 9th, so these will be the rankings going into Nationals.

Games at any Nationals event are worth doublish in the ranking systems. After non-bracket play, the standings are recalculated and then turned into seeds for the National Tournament Bracket. See the Nationals section of the Constitution for the full rundown.  Continue reading “Standings as of 2016-04-05”

Standings as of 2016-03-27

This week sees a solidification for teams as they settle into a solid average, according to the NCDA Ranking Algorithm. GVSU is now ranked first in each of the four systems, this is a similar situation going into Nationals last year. We still have two events remaining with maybe a dozen more games to go. Look to see the lower-middle tier jumble in upcoming weeks. These teams generally are both close in games played and tight in their average, so any results will float these teams to their deserving ranking going into Nationals. We have an astounding 175 events and an average 14.5 games played per team thus far into the Season; plenty of data to build a ranking for each team! Continue reading “Standings as of 2016-03-27”

Reviewing the 2016 MDC

Grand Valley State University won the 2016 Michigan Dodgeball Cup with a 3-0 record.
Grand Valley State University won the 2016 Michigan Dodgeball Cup with a 3-0 record.

On Feb. 27th, Michigan State University hosted the annual Michigan Dodgeball Cup.  In attendance were all four Michigan schools: Central Michigan, Grand Valley State, Michigan State, and Saginaw Valley State.  The stakes were higher than ever, as all four teams were positioned in the top six of the NCDA Standings.  In fact, the schools had a combined record of 51-21 heading into the event, with exactly zero of those 21 losses coming at the hands of a team outside the state of Michigan.

The dominance of the Michigan Region is still alive and well, and anyone who may try to dispute that should take a look at that fact I just mentioned.  Michigan schools this season are a combined 30-0 against teams from other regions.  And there is a very real chance that at the end of the year, no non-Michigan team picks up a win over a Michigan Region team.  I highly doubt that has ever happened before.
