A win against anyone gets you 20 points.
Any game win or lose gets you 2 points per class if the opponent is a higher class. A 4a team playing a 5a team gets a 2 point kicker. A 3a team playing 5a gets a 4 point bonus.
No kicker playing a team in the same class.
Any game win or lose gets you one point per opponent win. And that number goes up as the team you beat wins more games throughout the season. An early season win over a really good team is the gift that keeps on giving.
So a 4a team beating an 18-10 5a team gets:
20 points to win
2 points for beating a team one class up
18 points for the opponent wins
40 points total. And that number can go up if the 5a team wins some more games.
That same 4a team losing to the 5a team gets 20 points - 2 for playing up and 18 points for the opponent wins. But they don’t get the 20 points they’d have gotten had they won the game.
Average total points by number of games and you get a team’s power point ranking.
In broad strokes, the system tries to reward you for scheduling good opponents win or lose, and to punish you for artificially inflating your win/loss record by feasting on cupcakes.

It’s different than the basketball and football formula
They give you opponent’s win percentage x 34 (in basketball) or 10 (in football)
My constant complaint on here is that B and C teams exist for the rest of the state to add wins to the ratings (think of it like a food chain) and don’t exist in SE Louisiana leading to a geographical bias.
And because those B and C teams don’t exist, a lot of schools don’t have as many games played as others.
And with four to six 5A districts in close driving distance for everybody in SE LA, we tend to play those teams more, which leads to more parity (though for sure Barbe and West Monroe would still be great)
