2011 Newton Division

[mwibbels]

The Newton matches have been fun and challenging. Today it felt like the team was fighting a bit of a scheduling headwind and a couple of folks decided that it would be interesting to analyze the strength of schedule. Nothing complex just the sum of average scores of opponents – the average scores of alliance partners (not including the averages for the team's strength of schedule (SofS) being analyzed), for all of matches played by each team so far on Newton. The analysis is likely imperfect and we would love to see some better way to look at the balance of the strength of schedule. Just to make it interesting we added overall rank as of Friday night.

A couple of observations:
1. We expect that to some extent, with this metric, that exceptional teams can make their schedule look easy and that struggling teams can make their schedule harder
2. Significant jumps in the point totals are likely worth looking at
