You got it!  You made history this year by ranking 4th out of over 3,095 teams in the United States and Canada in Quality Win performance. 

What is Quality Win Factor as defined by LaxPower.com?  Quality wins can be computed or determined by defeating teams (a) ranked in the polls, (b) with arbitrarily power ratings when no polls exist, and (c) having RPI rankings at or above a certain level.

QWF Based on Polls

The Quality Win Factor is, naturally enough, based on the number of wins against quality opponents. For the examples that follow, a quality opponent is defined as a team which is ranked in the poll. The coaches' poll is typically used, and the number of quality teams will depend on the number of teams that are ranked.
