The previously dueling PWR implementations (see Uncertainty around PWR calculation) seem to have been resolved for now.

Reading USCHO’s change as a sign that they received confirmation that their previous method was incorrect, this is great news for college hockey fans as it lifts the uncertainty that was previously hanging over the dueling implementations.
