This is the number of points each team started with for the 2018 season and how each team earned their points. From these numbers, we started the 10% Ante ranking system for the 2018 season.
How 10% Ante works is relatively simple.
After every game, the losing team gives the winning team 10% of their points and… We make two adjustments:
1 – Games Played – At any point during the season, some teams have played 3 or more games more than other teams. As a consequence, all team points are adjusted so no team has an advantage due to their playing more games.
2 – Winning Team Bonus – Each losing team loses 10% of their points and each winning team receives these 10% of the losing team’s points. And, along with this 10%, the winning team receives a Winning Bonus. This Bonus is based on the losing team’s number of points relative to the number of points of every other team in D1 Lacrosse. If a team beats the team with the lowest number of points in D1 Lacrosse (e.g. NJIT), the winning team receives Bonus Points of 0. If a team beats the team with the highest number of points in D1 Lacrosse (e.g. Maryland), the winning team receives Bonus Points of another 10% of the losing teams points. For every other team within this scale of lowest-to-highest and 0% Bonus-to-10% Bonus, the winning team receives the bonus points accordingly. (As a logistical point, when a teams loses, the 10% of their points is taken from the losing team and given to the winning team. For the Bonus, the Bonus is given by 10% ante, not by the losing team.)
This is the current 10% Ante rankings:
