The first indicator (Improvement) ranks teams based on improvement of an athlete’s time compared to in-season best times (the higher the percentage the better). See division rankings in parenthesis.

The second indicator (Percentile) ranks the teams based on their athletes’ times compared to other athletes in the same division in the same event (the lower the percentile the better). See division rankings in parenthesis.

Teams are then ranked (avg ranking) by averaging the team’s Improvement Ranking and Percentile Ranking for a final team ranking (the lower the average score the better).
Rankings are taken from Hy-Tek result files received from teams by 12:00 CST each Tuesday. Percentile and Improvement indicators are averaged for teams swimming in multiple meets.
