Phew, that was fast.

There is already just over one week to go prior to the state seeding meeting.

Find out where your girls tennis team stacks up in the Power Points standings for 2024, a key factor in determining seeding for the NJSIAA team sectional tournaments.

The cutoff date is Sept. 23 and matches are to be fully reported by Sept. 24 at noon when the Power Points close.

Classifications list

The NJSIAA power point system will be used to qualify schools into the 16 team brackets, but the seeding committee on Sept. 26 will review the brackets and may make changes to the seeds based on other factors, including head-to-head results, UTR, record, winning percentage, and strength of schedule.

Here’s a breakdown how the Point Points work from the NJSIAA:

“The PowerPoints earned from each game are based on the sum of Quality Points and Residual Points, which is then multiplied by a strength of schedule factor (OOWP). The sum of each game’s power points will then be averaged, and the result will be your team’s PowerPoints.

“All PowerPoints will be rounded to three (3) decimal places where applicable. Formula: Step 1: (Quality Points + Residual Points) x OOWP = Game PowerPoints Step 2: (Sum of Game PowerPoints) / Number of Games = Team PowerPoints.”

Notes:

• All games played from opening day to the cutoff date will count, regardless of how many games are played.
• Tennis predetermined minimum number of games is 8. All teams that fall below this minimum number are still eligible for the playoffs, however their points will be divided by the minimum number of 8.
• Residual points will be awarded based on your opponents’ first 8 games.
• Ties will be calculated only for sports where the regulations state ties are acceptable outcomes.
