Rating Percentage Index (RPI) explained
4
The Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) is a method which ranks sports teams or individuals based upon their wins, losses and strength of schedule.
5
It is used by the NCAA to aid in the selection and seeding of teams appearing in tournaments such as basketball's March Madness.

Why are RPI rankings superior to simple win-loss records? Imagine a superstar that wins every match but always faces jobbers.
8
Sure, their win/loss record is perfect but by facing opponents who often lose, we don't know their true impressiveness!
9
Their RPI score will not be nearly as high compared to another superstar who always faces stellar opponents but still manages to win 50% of the time.

The factors involved are:
12
1) the superstar's winning percentage25% of RPI score
13
2) the average winning percentage of the superstar's opponents50% of RPI scoreThese two factors comprise a superstar's "strength of schedule".
14
3) the average winning percentage of the superstar's opponents' opponents25% of RPI score

16
The highest possible RPI is 100.

The win-loss records were compiled from The Internet Wrestling Database (http://www.profightdb.com) using the following shows:

For one-on-one wins, the victor is awarded 1 point while the loser receives none. In the case of a draw, each superstar receives 1/2 point
26
For tag team wins, the victor is awarded a 1/2 point against each competitor (when combined across both competitors in the match, the victor would attain 1 point).
27
In a match such as a 6-man tag match, the victor is awarded 1/3 of a point against each competitor (again, when combined across all the competitors in the match, the victor would attain 1 point).
28
A bonus point will be given for events such as battle royales.
