Validating Results. Looking up missing scores.
Nonetheless, LYMAN HS (Longwood) is #1 for the first week of the season.
Lyman nudges Olympia by having played and swept two more opponents than Olympia during the first week of the season.

How can you rank Lyman higher than Olympia when they beat them in a heads-up match? Was it a fluke? Did that match not count? Just curious....

Why is Lyman higher than Olympia?
The ranking algorithm is mathematical. Lyman has played more best of 5 matches and won than Olympia.
The best 2 of 3 head to head result of Olympia over Lyman was not enough to get Olympia the #1 ranking.
Subjectively, I agree Olympia should be #1 based on the head to head result. But this is a purely objective poll using the results of matches played.
Olympia will be #1 if they keep winning.

Winter Springs Lake Howell.
I am missing several match results for Winter Springs HS.
Did not find any results in the Orlando Sentiel for their matchest this weekend at the DP tourney.
Lake Howell also had a very good showing in the TC tourney, finishing 2nd.

We'll as for the Lyman, OT issue, I personally think calculating Head-to-Head results wouldnt hurt. Might make things a bit more accurate? Possibly? I could be wrong, after all lol I dont have the patience to do what you do. Thanks for doing it though, and as you said, ranking will be more accurate as games go on.

Well the DP tourney this weekend is reflected in the rankings.
It is just not reflected to the degree of importance as you put on it.
The Lyman loss was a best 2 or 3 loss. So at this point in time Olympia (no disrespect) is only a short game better than Lyman.
15-10 in the 3rd. What would have happen if this was a best 3 of 5 game?

We'll SINCE YOU ASKED lol, i guess i can answer. If it was 3 of 5 game, i think the team that won 2 of3 would have one. But lol, thats just my opinion.

crowder makes a good point. and it was a very close game. also, the rankings are all algorithmic so theres nothing he can really do. it will be an exciting rematch, i believe in the regional finals? if both teams make it to that point.

Lyman is a very good team. It was great volleyball and very exciting to watch. As an Olympia parent, I want to congratulate Lyman for a very strong showing playing with great class and sportmanship. Rankings will take care of themselves. I just hope everybody stays healthy and they meet again down the road.

I would also like to add that whomever wins the Southwest Tourney next weekend in Miami is probably going to be the new #1 for the beginning of the week.
Remember the ranking algorithm rewards teams for playing and WINNING.
