What is the formula/concept?
If you win:
X points for winning the game based on opponent Class
Y points times number of opponent wins based on opponent’s opponents Class
If you lose:
Y/3 points times number of opponent wins based on opponent’s opponents Class
This calculation happens for every game, then averaged out to the QRF number you see online.
Once the average QRF is determined, it is compared to the average QRF of every other team in the State, and put into ranking order.
