Rankings FAQ
How are the rankings determined?
The Rankings will be comprised of three components. Teams are ranked by all ACHA Women's Division 1 coaches, 1-15 (15 maximum,) Ballots are averaged with the high and low vote for each team being dropped. The competition committee, which is comprised of 7 members, will also submit a ranking. There will also be a computer ranking performed and updated each week. Those three process will all be used and teams will be ranked on their averages of all three processes.
Ranking is based on a combination of the following criteria in no particular order or importance:
a -Overall Record
b -Strength of schedule
c -Record vs Ranked Teams (Top 5, Top 10)
d -Games with common opponents
e -Women's Division 1 Record
f.- Head to Head
What are the rankings used for?
The most important thing the rankings do is determine who will be invited to the national tournament. The final ranking of the season must be issued three weeks prior to the national tournament so that teams who are invited can make the appropriate travel arrangements. After the final ranking is issued, the Commissioner extends invitations to the National Championship.
