Gotcha thanks. Was just trying to use it as a gage for fall. We went to a mid level league and are doing well, but not sure if its because other teams are in too high a league, or we are too low.
This year, the level of the leagues is all over the place. With all the new levels starting up and covid, many clubs in what are supposed to be high-level leagues can hardly field a team while others in the same league bring in teams that have been playing together for years. The results are all over the map and the top teams in some lower leagues are often better than even the best in higher leagues. It's a mess. My suggestion is to treat this spring as a pre-season and hopefully things will level out in the fall.
I do hope the new structure of the top leagues will allow more play between them so the top of the lists will be more accurate. In the previous few years, they've been out of whack because the DA rarely played outside the DA.
“Teams” consists this spring too of players readily floating between ECNL/RL and GA/DPL
Yea that's why I was asking about the rankings. Is it because so many teams haven't played games in so long that they fell off, and only those that did tournaments through covid are listed? Does everyone need to hit 10 recent games again before it starts becoming a bit more accurate?
Yes - you need a certain number of results to be included on the list and older results have less weight and eventually fall off. Also, it looks like the rankings are not counting the current ECRL season as "real" so none of those games are getting in. Once teams play some summer tournaments and get back to regular schedules in the fall, the ranking should come back.
