D1 Football Point System Formula

At the conclusion of the first 10 weekends of the season, a team’s “win points” are added to the
“bonus points” they received from their opponent.

The sum of those two totals is then divided by the number of games played during the defined PIAA
10 week season.

* When 10 games are played, the sum of win and bonus points will be divided by 10.
* When 9 games are played, the sum of win and bonus points will be divided by 9.
*The highest point average established for each team is placed in rank order to determine the seeds and
which teams make the playoffs.

Bonus Points – Win or lose, your team will receive 10 points for each game that your opponent wins
during the 10 week season. Bonus points are cumulative throughout the season. Bonus points are not
related to team classifications.

Win Points are earned each time a team defeats an opponent. Your school’s classification and your
opponent’s classification will determine the sum of the win points (see matrix below). Total number of
win points are added at the end of the 10 week season.

Strath Haven is a 5A school but many of the schools they play are 6A schools which increases the ability for greater win points.
