While we wait for the BardBowl stats to be sorted out, we have a special treat for you! We have split the rankings into a ranking based off of NAQT sets and mACF sets. We know the two formats can differ a lot sometimes, and certain teams may be particular suited to one over the other, so we hope this provides a more complete picture of the field, particularly with the current midseason poll going on. As a sidenote, the Groger Scores here differ from the Groger Scores in the normal ranking for two reasons. 1 is that we are trying out Liu Adjustments rather than Baseline Adjustments where every set contributes to the overall adjustment of a set rather than it being on a single baseline (which is IS 177 for the normal rankings). If all goes well, we will soon switch our normal rankings to Liu Adjustments. The second is that each adjustments will be limited merely to the sets that fall under their jurisdiction (so IS 177 and 179 will affect the IS 181 adjustment for the NAQT ranks, but WHAQ obviously won’t). These differing adjustments can be found at the end for the interested. Without further ado, here are your mACF only rankings:
Note: The teams marked with an asterisk got their best scores from tournaments that did not use negs. As a result, their Groger Scores are slightly higher than they would be if negs were included. The difference is only a few points, but it is something to keep in mind and the asterisks will be included on all future rankings.
