I was wondering if there was a comma separated (csv/xls) file with the full schedule of 2009 for all NHL teams. However I was disappointed to see that there was no where I could find this.
Thus I took 10 mins to prepare this consolidated schedule for full season of 2009 for all NHL teams into a comma separated (csvxls) format.

Enjoy!

1) Firstly, points are awarded for the result. Three points for victory, one for a draw, and none for defeat. In case of penalties, the winning team gains two points, and the losing team gets one. Let’s call this parameter A.

2) Then comes the importance of the fixture. Let’s call this factor B. Here’s how this factor takes its value:

Friendly matches - 1.0
WC Qualifier & Continental Qualifier - 2.5
Continental final competition and COnfederations Cup - 3.0
World Cup final competition - 4.0

3) This factor gives importance to the strength of the opposition. The team at the top of the rankings is given the value 2.0, and the rest are calculated as per this formula:

(200-Rank) / 100.

Which means that if someone is playing 6th ranked Russia, they would have this value equal to 1.94. However, if the opposition is ranked 150th or below, this value is kept at a minimum of 0.50. Let’s call this factor C.

4) This gives importance to the strength of the confederation. If an inter-continental match is being played, the value that’s taken into consideration is the mean value of both confederation’s strength factors. These values are calculated using the number of victories for their confederation’s teams in the last three World Cups. These are the current values. Let’s call this D.

UEFA - 1.00
CONMEBOL - 0.98
CONACAF - 0.85
AFC - 0.85
CAF - 0.85
OFC - 0.85

Taking these four factors into consideration, the total number of points amassed by a team in a match is calculated. The total number of points gathered by a team in one game can be given by:

Total Points (P) = A x B x C x D x 100

The points amassed per match don’t decide the net score alone. An average score of all matches played in the last twelve months is calculated. The average is combined with averages from earlier games, which are devalued as time goes on. The weightage given to games in the last four years decrease with each year (100%,50%,30%,20%).

So for example, let’s take the Nehru Cup final between India and Syria, and calculate how many points India scored in that game.

For that match:

A = 2 (They won on penalties)

B = 1.0 (These matches are counted as friendlies)

C = (200-95)/100 = 1.05 (Syria were ranked 95 in the world)

D = 0.85 (Strength factor of AFC is 0.85)

Therefore, the total number of points amassed by India in that game was:

(2 x 1 x 1.05 x 0.85 x 100) = 178.5

That’s hardly a high number, as the maximum points a team can gain from a match is 2400.

And from the victories against Krygyztan and Sri Lanka, India garnered a total of 255 points. The final against Syria WAS NOT counted for the new rankings, so India should move further up once October’s rankings are announced.

Taking another example, where more points were scored in a game, let’s take the World Cup 2006 Quarter Final between France and Brazil and calculate the points using the current system.

Brazil lost and scored zero points.

For France:

A = 3 (Won in normal time)

B = 4.0 (It was a World Cup game)

C = 2.0 (Brazil were ranked No.1 at the time)

D = (1 + 0.98)/2 = 0.99 (Taking the mean of the strength factors of UEFA & CONMEBOL)

Total Points = (3 x 4 x 2 x .99 x 100) = 2376

So that was an example of a game where close to maximum points were scored by a team.
