USCL Ratings and Power Rankings: Week 3 (2009)

UPDATE. I forgot to increase the current week counter on the spreadsheet, and thus what I posted was wrong. Mea culpa. Thank you for HA81 for the constructive criticism which made me go back to look at this.

I had been asked by United States Chess League Commissioner, Greg Shahade, to also publish power rankings for the 14 USCL teams. Note that these Power Rankings are entirely based on mathematical formulas; there is no subjectivity at all. They are calculated using the same formula that used previously on this website. Top team always get a 1.000, the remainder of the teams get numbers less than that.
