Regional Rankings

Most regions select their top 8 teams based on power points, but some regions are different:

Top 6 only: Region 6A, Region 5D, and Region 2B
District Play: Region 6D uses district record only, with power points as a tiebreaker
Special Format: Region 4C uses district champions and runners up. Power points for 5th and 6th seed

In most 6-team regions, the #1 and #2 seeds get a first-round bye.

What are Power Points?

Power Points are Virginia's official ranking system for high school football. Teams earn points for every game they play, with more points for wins against stronger opponents. Only games against VHSL teams with known classifications count toward power points.

Each game gives you points based on two things:

Game Points: Win or lose, you get points based on the highest class level of the two teams:
- Class 6: 26 points (win) / 14 points (loss)
- Class 5: 24 points (win) / 12 points (loss)
- Class 4: 22 points (win) / 10 points (loss)
- Class 3: 20 points (win) / 8 points (loss)
- Class 2: 18 points (win) / 6 points (loss)
- Class 1: 16 points (win) / 4 points (loss)
Opponent Win Bonus: Extra points based on how many games your opponent has won:
- If you beat them: 2 points × their total wins
- If you lose to them: 1 point × their total wins

Note: Historically, Virginia awarded bonus points to higher class teams when playing lower class opponents. The math works out identically - it's just easier to understand as "points are based on the higher class team."

Example

Central High (Class 6) beats Grove High (Class 4)
This is scored as a class 6 game (highest rank of either team).
Central has won 5 games this season. Grove High has won 7 games this season.

Central High gets:
26 game points (class 6 win) + 14 opponent win bonus (2 x Grove's 7 wins) = 40 total points

Grove High gets:
14 game points (class 6 loss) + 5 opponent win bonus (1 x Central's 5 wins) = 19 total points

Per Game Average

Since teams play different numbers of games, power points are shown as an average per game. This makes rankings fair across all teams.
