How the ranking works

The average Impact Rating (more info) to qualify for B-Finals, A-Finals, and to win an event at conference championships is calculated for each conference. The Impact Ratings are then sorted from highest to lowest. A higher average means a faster overall conference standard to score points. Compare your Impact Rating to these averages.
