    Written by: Ryan Borde

    PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland State has been picked to repeat as Pacific Coast Softball Conference champions in 2010, according to a vote of the league's 12 head coaches.

    The Vikings were the unanimous choice to win the Mountain Division, while Sacramento State was selected to win the Coastal Division in the inaugural year of division play. The PCSC has expanded from six to 12 teams this year, and split into two divisions.

    Portland State received all 12 first place votes in the Mountain Division and also got nine of 12 votes to win the first-ever PCSC Championship Series.

    All schools will play a 20-game conference schedule against teams within their own division. The two division winners will meet May 14-15 in a best-of-three championship series, with the winner earning the PCSC's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. Previously, the regular season champion advanced to the NCAAs.

    Advanced Statistics Primers~WPA
    Alex Remington of Big League Stew has been putting together a series of excellent posts about various advanced statistics, check out Everything you always wanted to know about: WPA

    What does it stand for?: Win Probability Added.
    As Hardball Times's Dave Studeman has written, it's gone by a lot of different names. "Player Win Averages," "Player Game Percentage," "Win Expectancy," "Player's Win Value," etc. But WPA is the the most common name for it these days.

    How to calculate WPA: Though the arithmetic can be a mother, Win Probability Added is one of the easiest of all the advanced stats to explain. Put simply, it's a measure of how much any game event contributes to the eventual outcome of the game, win or loss.
