This marks the fifth year of TCHCR and for something different, nothing will be changing. That is, the criteria and formula stay exactly the same as last season. Army has been included once again because of its upgraded Division I schedule. Mass-Amherst will not be included because it is not eligible for the tournament. For the newcomers, there are still the "Inside TCHCR" documents available by ftp from andy.bgsu.edu in the Hockey directory. The HOCKEY-L oldtimers already know all about TCHCR, so that is enough for now.

Performance ranges from +100 (for an undefeated and untied team) to -100 (for a winless and untied team), with a .500 winning percentage getting a zero performance. SCHEDULE is the average rating of a team's opponents. RATING is the sum of performance and schedule and represents an evaluation of how each team has done so far with respect to the rest of college hockey. Based on 171 Division I games. Only games between the 44 teams eligible for the Division I tournament are considered. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
