The Wolverhampton Wolves are no8 in Quality of play, despite being above the 4 teams they lost to below them.

I'm not a stats guy so could someone explain the two fields (Strength of Schedule and Quality of Play) and what those indices actually mean?

yeah, could someone explain this to me as well?
for example, how can the Malta Ospreys who have lost:
381-0
310-0
376-0
321-0

..be anything but last?

Strength of schedule I get -- you get points according the the # of wins you opponents had if you win and if you lose, you lose as many pts your opponents have lost -- Rotterdam has won all of its games so far and I'm assuming those opponents have won 15 games so far so we get 15 pts -- on the other extreme Dresden must have lost all their games and those opponents have collectively lost 16 games

Don't ask me about the Quality of Play -- I'd have thought it had something to do with scoring instead of wins and losses, but I don't see a pattern

The way I understand it is like this...

Strength of Schedule - The quality of the teams you've played.
Quality of Play - The quality of the teams that have been played by the teams you played.

If that's not clear, then let's take my team, the Amsterdam Affliction as an example

We've played the following teams:

Jamaica Rumrunner
Madrid Gangsters
Malta Ospreys
Brussels Raiders

So the quality of the 4 teams I've played is my strength of schedule. The quality of the 4 teams that Jamaica has played + the 4 teams that Madrid has played + the 4 teams that has destroyed Malta + the 4 teams that Brussels has played = Amsterdam's Quality of Play.

That's how I understand it, anyway.

Thanks. That helps quite a bit.

Actually, if this is the "power rankings" from other leagues, then the Quality of play is how your team is against the predicted spread for each game. Here is an explanation from one of the other leagues I have been in.

The basis for this is as follows (thanks to Garrettfoster):

Strength of Record = (Total number of wins of opponents you have defeated) - (Total number of losses of opponents that have beaten you). Standard measure for how "good" a team is. Rewards teams for beating good teams and penalizes teams for losing to bad teams.

Quality of Play = (Actual total point differential) - (Predicted total point differential). essentially how many points (total) that team has beaten (or not beaten) the spread by. Some feel this is a good indicator if a team is playing better or worse than expected.

That very well may be the case... Like I said in another thread... I'm as confused by this as everyone else. I'm just running the numbers.

And what we have at this point is an absurdly small sample size, so small as to be negligible really. But it's quick and easy, and fun to see your team rise or at least move around throughout the year.
