"Powerwise" coming soon to lacrosse?

Certainly better than what they have, and somewhat eliminates the impact of conference tournaments.

Strangely enough, hockey just did away with the last remnants of the Pairwise.

I always liked some aspects of the pairwise, even aspects of the "old" pairwise like record in the last 16, which could've ultimately been tweaked to be more fair regarding strengh-of-schedule. I think it's foolish that hockey now ignores even the results of head-to-head matches. That lacrosse, which has always been one of the worst smoke-filled rooms, might go to this fairer method at this point is certainly ironic.
