I saw on the Elite 11 results, and other sites, too, something called the "powerball throw". What is it, and what is it supposed to measure? Is it an accurate measure of the strength of a QB's arm, or is it more of a measure of upper body strength?
 
Measures upper body strength and is not just for testing QB's. Google it for more info.
 
From wikipedia:

In the Kneeling Power Ball Toss, an athlete must kneel with both knees on a flat surface while raising a 2 or 3 kilogram medicine / power ball over their head. They must proceed to thrust outward, landing in a push-up position. The distance in inches is then turned into SPARQ Points to be added to the final score.
