It's not the math, it's the formula. Damascus has 2losses, including 3-1 to Churchill. Too much weight may be placed on winning set percent. This is essentially the same argument as college football polls where there is an incentive to run up the score. If you play your subs and they lose a set, you're penalized even if you win the match. Having a 2 loss team ranked ahead of both teams that they lost to (both of which have only a single 5 set loss) shows the inherent flaw in the formula. Of course, in the end it goes to really mean much and I appreciate all the effort that goes into the ranking. Perhaps this can assist in calibrating the factors that go into the rankings. Thanks for undertaking this, it's much appreciated
