FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: SEPT. 16, 2024

The first official KHSAA Ratings Percentage Index rankings for the 2024 football, girls’ volleyball and field hockey seasons have been posted.

Initial RPI rankings can be found through the links below:

• Football
• Girls’ Volleyball
• Field Hockey

RPI is a tool developed for all team sports using the official KHSAA/Riherds Scoreboard data, modeled after, but not identical to, similar measurement tools. It is provided for a variety of reasons, including district tiebreaking and football bracketing, and as a means to increase publicity, interest and promotion of interscholastic athletics. RPI is also used as a tiebreaking/contest-result mechanism to decide seeded district games that are not played by the deadline. RPI rankings are updated on an hourly basis but are not calculated for teams with missing scores from the previous day. Therefore, it is essential for results to remain comprehensive for accuracy.
