The Pairwise Ranking is the ranking system used by the NCAA Selection
Committee to determine participants for the NCAA Division I men's hockey
tournament. The PWR compares only those at or above .500, judging them by
five criteria: record against common opponents, record in last 16 games,
head to head competition, record against other teams at or above .500, and
the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI).
 
For each comparison won, a team receives one point. The final PWR ranking
is based on the number of points (comparisons) won against teams at or
above .500. Ties are settled by the RPI.
