Re: 2016 Pre-Champs ELO Ratings
One source of error in this system arises because non-district teams play fewer qualifying matches than district teams. More capable teams, such as 16, 254, 330, 971, 2481, etc. would need a few more matches for their Elo ratings to converge from the initial seed (1500) toward a figure that better represents their performance.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
