Our ratings are completely objective. They are solely based on team results in league and tournament play. We currently have over 50,000 games in our database and we normally recalculate the rankings every Sunday since we are constantly adding new games and teams are adding their own results. However, accurate rankings depend on results being included in our database.
If you are a team coach or manager you can add your latest results and make sure your team gets placed where it belongs! Simply click on Log In at the top of this screen to add your team and/or get your access codes! |
We have been impressed with the accuracy of the data entered by teams and the honesty of those entering the data. (Stop being so cynical!) Certainly the system is self-policing since data entered is available to all members to see and immediately appears on the opponent's page.
We have a policy that if a team enters results they must enter the results of ALL of their games at that event. If they don't we will either complete or delete partial results. And, of course, we can revoke any team's ability to enter their own data if they don't follow the rules! |
We "seed" the rankings with the State, Regional and National tournament results and then run through all of the games a dozen times to establish the base for each team. Team A can beat B, B can beat C, and then C can beat A to make a simple calculation impossible.
We don't use simple tournament outcome which can have so many variables depending on which teams participate (and are skewed by the number of touraments entered) and we don't use "experts" which can be biased and don't always give credit to teams in smaller clubs. |
