The Northwest Ohio basketball coaches are being asked to vote on the idea of using the Martin RPI formula for tournament seeding. This would bring basketball a step closer to the way the football playoffs are being done.

I've been reading some of the threads on another forum. Sounds interesting.

Sounds like this is gaining positive feedback.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. If it's used only for seeding, it would not be that big of a deal imo. Anything beyond that would be huge for NW Ohio.
I like the traditional RPI (win/loss %, AOWP, and OAOWP) calculation. Can argue about some of the methodology being used, but he's the one doing the work. The Joe Eitel/L1 component that he factored into his calculations last season was a mess. When Huron and Shelby get more L1 points than Akron SVSM in D2 and Marion Elgin gets more L1 points than Lutheran East and Cincinnati Taft in D3, something isn't right. That needs to change.

At this time I am hearing it is being discussed for seeding only. But we all know these things change or evolve. |

Has eliminated the Joe Eitel/L1 component from the calculation and replaced it with Strength of Schedule. Not perfect but the numbers make more sense. |

NWDAB has announced that it'll be used for seeding the 2023 tournament (both boys and girls). Will not be used to place teams on the brackets.

Seeding is complete using the RPI. Has anyone heard any complaints about it yet?

Looking pretty straight forward to me. In D II looking at Lex, they were seeded #3 which looks about right by the way the schedule is/ was. In a good year Lex playing the D-I's they do they may be a one seed in a lot of years. One thing I might tweak is wait until the end of the season to seed the teams. With Lexington still to be playing Wooster, Ottawa Glandorf, Shelby, and Mansfield Sr. There are some crucial points to be won or lost there. The draw however probably went as expected.
