Loss Factor

The Loss Factor is simply the sum of all losses by a team but does
not include intersectional games. Division losses for each team are
added to the TSI formula. Computer ratings don't necessarily consider
wins/losses (as is the case with the LaxPower Computer ratings) and a
team could conceivably lose on the road to another team by one goal
and move up in the power ratings because the home field advantage,
e.g., two goals will offset the one goal margin. This component is
meant to complement the Quality Win Factor which benefits a team for
beating a "quality" team. Below is an example of the Won/Loss Record
of Delaware boy's teams. Note that the Losses differs from the lost
column because some losses occurred out-of-state which are not
included.
