The system rewards more than a team’s own results. The report says every game produces Quality Points and Residual Points, with the combined figure adjusted by OOWP, the strength-of-schedule factor.
A team’s points from each game are then added together and averaged. Where necessary, the final power-points figure is rounded to three decimal places.
That calculation makes every fixture part of a wider ranking picture. A victory can strengthen a team’s own total, while the results of opponents can also affect the schedule component.
The closing matches carry importance beyond the immediate scoreline. A team still chasing a higher seed must focus on its own result, but it also benefits when opponents produce results that improve the strength of the schedule.
The report says games played after 24 October will not alter the figures used for tournament seeding. That gives the final eligible fixtures a clear deadline: once the cutoff passes, teams must wait for the ranking process to determine their position.
The latest reports cover North Jersey Sections 1 and 2 across Groups 1 to 4, along with Central Jersey and South Jersey Groups 1 to 4. Separate classifications are listed for North Jersey Non-Public A, South Jersey Non-Public A, North Jersey Non-Public B and South Jersey Non-Public B.
Attention now turns to the final schedule and the results that could reshape the margins between nearby seeds. The next major storyline will arrive on 28 October, when the seeding meeting is scheduled to establish the tournament bracket.
