Cajun Softball Adjusted RPI at #12 this week ...

[GoneGolfin]

Thanks. It mentions in that post that you would provide the actual bonuses/penalties in a future post. Did you do that?

No, nobody seemed interested and I just moved on.

Brian, Please know that I look forward to seeing your name on a post. I jump right on it and TRY to understand what you are saying. BTW, you do a good job of explaining to the Un-Mathematical, like me. I understand what you are explaining. It surely gives my brain a work-out. I appreciate that! Thanks for your continued explanations of the RPI and how it affects our Cajuns. Merci Beacoup!

I am also so proud of you when you are on Ultimate College Softball. The "explain er" of all things RPI is a CAJUN fan! It makes me proud of my University and proud of you. Keep it up!

In the case of UL run-ruling FAU in all three games, might the addition of that stat alone (run-rule sweep) factor into the RPI formulae? Mercy victories, margin of victories, etc? Should some consideration be given for the "decimation" factor? The mercy rule already protects most teams from the ULs of the world from running up the score, so where's the harm in rewarding a team in our situation from beating weaker teams, and convincingly?

I would not be interested in margin of victory being any part of the equation. I think it would be bad for the sport and would encourage manipulation. Even with the mercy rule in place, it might encourage coaches to overuse their ace pitcher (as an example) in the hopes of gaining favor in the mathematical system. Besides, a mercy rule is another arbitrary constant introduced into the formula that would skew margin of victory. I think it should be about winning and losing.

Great points. Thanks for your response.

You are too kind. I am glad you enjoy the posts LuLu.

LuLu is not alone.

LuLu is not alone.

Same goes here for me Brian. Now, if we could just get the powers that be to include you in their discussions as to who to award a regional to, I think that it would be in the bag for UL.

Just give all the info you can that boosts the Cajuns to Scott------He is on the selection committee if I remember correctly!!!!

Are you saying we have to do everything we can to make Scott Farmer "Super UL Cocky" going into the NCAA War Room?
