Every year before MSC and CMP, I come up with my own rating system (WPR = Wayne's Power Rating). The formula is slightly different every year, depending on the game. I normally include just the draft and playoff components of the district score, omit award points, and replace qualification match points with OPR. I normalize and round off the values to yield a final ranking score between 1-10. I think you are kidding yourself if you get beyond 1 or 2 significant digits.

Now that all FiM teams have played twice in Michigan, and pre-DCMP rankings are available, I decided to use the system Wayne described above to calculate a modified OPS. This time it is Selection and Playoff points plus OPR, or SPO. Following Wayne's suggestion, I normalized on a 1-10 scale to give "WPR". The attachment shows details. "Delta" is the number of positions that a team moved relative to official FiM pre-DCMP rank. My Top 25 are:

3536 appears at position 37 on my Pre MSC SPO list, which is 19 slots higher than their official FiM rank. Their normalized "WPR" is 4/10
