These rankings are derived from a complex formula that take a number of variables into consideration, most importantly how well you've done in past WIS Championship tournaments.

For purposes of your league assignment, your ranking is also your TEAM NUMBER

Some comments on the rankings.  Tournament finishes have the biggest impact on your ranking, and more weight is placed on the more recent finishes.  If you've played in fewer than 3 WIS Championships, then your history (win%, playoff%, championships) will factor into the formula.  If you have zero tournaments played, then your history has a much greater weight, although there is some regression analysis done to estimate what your tournament results would have been had you played in previous tournaments.

Your most recent tournament performance gets the most weight, regardless of how long ago it was (see ballantine).

Also, you can't compare last year's ranking to this year's ranking and assume it's going to go in the direction you anticipate.  For example, bardin was ranked 12th last year, finished 8th in the tournament and his ranking dropped to 14th.  His ranking "score" improved 20%, but others improved more and he got passed (jbohrman & jmissirlis).  Also, a couple of people who didn't play last year are ranked higher (mensu1954 & ArlenWilliam).

Almost forgot I played in the 2006 tournament. I think 45th is pretty respectable for being 15 at the time, but this time I'm hoping to see the second round.

Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but it seems like this all came together much quicker this year. I can't wait to get started.

As always, great job schwarze putting the WISC together. Thank you.

Now that all 96 teams are in, I revised the rankings to include the new owners.  The overall change in the makeup of the field can often cause weird statistical blips (due to the use of means and standard deviations in my formulas) where two owners might switch spots.  For the most part, owners didn't really move more than 1-2 spots.

Thanks for doing this Jeff. It is always enjoyable participating in this event. For me, it is a chance to go up against the best and see what happens. I enjoy reading about how each owner put their teams together and ask myself 'Why didn't I think of that?'. My goal is simply to finish higher than my ranking of 76. Good luck everyone.
