SMH, rankings are all relative buddy. You can’t just count your “good” games. YSR is just a predictive tool with a ranking next to team name. If it was always right, we wouldn’t play games. There will be upsets of both good and bad teams. The system is all based on goal differential and teams are linked through a “six degrees of separation” method. It’s much better than GotSoccer points and helps tournament directors balance brackets much easier.

For example, while SYC got a boost for beating Bethesda (even though it was the 2009 team and just ask how badly they were beaten in scrimmage by the 08s a month earlier...) SYC also lost 3-0 to a lesser ranked Southern MD Rush team a couple weeks ago. That 3-0 loss is more damaging than the win over Bethesda thanks to goal differential.

Also, that VYS over FCV was over a year and half ago. Games lose they’re value on YSR after 18 months, as they should!

Same thing goes for any other team. The teams that climb in their PI index are those teams that always cover the prediction. It’s an extremely fair system where you are rewarded for good performances and punished for bad ones. VDA has been the most consistent even with two ties to Loudoun.

Yes, rankings are all relative. If you look at got soccer rankings they have different teams at the top from YSR rankings. YSR weighs in different leagues differently and overvalues some over the others. For example, GA is given too much weight given the low quality of GA in our area. If the teams played each other within a single open pyramid, it would have been easier to rank them.

BSC 08 lost to Frederick twice while SYC beaten them twice this season, again its just a good way to keep points as close as possible. BTW SYC lost to that lesser MD team due to scheduling conflicts. SYC participated in a tournament that weekend down in Richmond and won all while driving to Maryland on a Sunday afternoon for a EDP. Should the team just of skipped the game? Maybe. Bethesda pounds their chest but somehow are knocked out of the Maryland state cup while SYC is still in.

That lesser team is in the finals for Maryland state cup while BSC isn't.

Exactly and it doesn't catch that SYC was in Richmond winning the USL League Championships and sent their 2nd team to play the MD So. Rush team you mentioned when they lost 3-0. They beat that same team earlier this year in EDP play. You just never know unless you are at the games or know someone who was.

I have always wonder about that. It seems like a club’s first team is given more weight. They can lose to a lower rank team(like 3-4 points lower) and not lose lose any points. This is why the rating system always needs to be taken with a grain of salt...specially with the top teams,

Didnt realize they actually played that game after the league championships- wow good on SYC to not send their 2nd team to play that game. I respect them even more now- some clubs wouldve ducked out of that one!

Yep, BSC lost to FC Frederick twice. Excuses could be given but that is the just way it goes, scheduling conflict or not. Happens to every team as does injuries. FC Frederick is a good team. Get over it. We have. BTW, SYC only played FC Frederick once and won 2-1. FC Frederick also has a better record in CCL than SYC.

BTW, as for your win over Bethesda, you should probably thank them. You beat the 2009 team 2-0 who's PI Index is currently 29.75. SYC is at 30.39 making SYC a 0.64 goal favorite. Instead it got counted as a 2-0 win over a team with a 31.13 index, boosting your PI much more. Good thing seeing SYC 08s lost in a scrimmage to Bethesda 08s just a month earlier 5-1. Good thing scrimmages don't count and we should not read into them...I know we did not want our 09s playing the SYC game instead but again, s--- happens. Oh, as for whoever keeps saying the 09s are just as good or better than our 08s, that's ridiculous. Sure the 09s are a great group of girls but we would win 9 out 10 by at least 2 goals in games. While we have not gotten many wins, we have only lost two games by more than 2 goals going all the way back to 2019, one to the #5 team in the country PDA Blue and the other to the #35 team in the country, Pipeline.

SYC's losses by more than two goals? A 3-0 loss to #406 Maryland Rush South (who ironically FC Frederick just beat), a 5-1 loss to #375 Coppermine SC. That is quite the contrast. To add more contrast, the highest ranked team SYC has played is #84 Arlington GA and a convincing 2-0 win however they have not played another top 100 team. Bethesda on the other hand has played #5 PDA Blue along with 7 other games against top 100 teams.

BTW, SYC only played FC Frederick once and won 2-1. FC Frederick also has a better record in CCL than SYC. SYC just won CCL Championship 2-1 over Beach. Bethesda beat Beach 3-0 at Jeff Cup.

Sorry, bottom line is SYC is ranked fairly. So is FC Frederick. So is Bethesda. So is Loudoun. So is everyone else at this age and region. Get over it or move to Virginia Union.

LOL, played one game on Saturday, then one Sunday and had to drive a little over an hour for an afternoon game. Oh the horror!

We were all promised a winning BSC team when the team returned to full strength this spring. How'd that spring go? Can't win in ECNL and can't beat CCL clubs.

But we are still a lot better than that McLean team you left for, lol. Now you are even looking up to Metro!

BTW, as for your win over Bethesda, you should probably thank them. You beat the 2009 team 2-0 who's PI Index is currently 29.75. SYC is at 30.39 making SYC a 0.64 goal favorite. Instead it got counted as a 2-0 win over a team with a 31.13 index, boosting your PI much more. Good thing seeing SYC 08s lost in a scrimmage to Bethesda 08s just a month earlier 5-1. Good thing scrimmages don't count and we should not read into them...I know we did not want our 09s playing the SYC game instead but again, s--- happens. Oh, as for whoever keeps saying the 09s are just as good or better than our 08s, that's ridiculous. Sure the 09s are a great group of girls but we would win 9 out 10 by at least 2 goals in games. While we have not gotten many wins, we have only lost two games by more than 2 goals going all the way back to 2019, one to the #5 team in the country PDA Blue and the other to the #35 team in the country, Pipeline.

SYC's losses by more than two goals? A 3-0 loss to #406 Maryland Rush South (who ironically FC Frederick just beat), a 5-1 loss to #375 Coppermine SC. That is quite the contrast. To add more contrast, the highest ranked team SYC has played is #84 Arlington GA and a convincing 2-0 win however they have not played another top 100 team. Bethesda on the other hand has played #5 PDA Blue along with 7 other games against top 100 teams.

BTW, SYC only played FC Frederick once and won 2-1. FC Frederick also has a better record in CCL than SYC. SYC just won CCL Championship 2-1 over Beach. Bethesda beat Beach 3-0 at Jeff Cup.

Sorry, bottom line is SYC is ranked fairly. So is FC Frederick. So is Bethesda. So is Loudoun. So is everyone else at this age and region. Get over it or move to Virginia Union.

We were all promised a winning BSC team when the team returned to full strength this spring. How'd that spring go? Can't win in ECNL and can't beat CCL clubs.

But we are still a lot better than that McLean team you left for, lol. Now you are even looking up to Metro!

You are 1-9-1 in league play. Your only wins are against ECNLR or lower teams.

Your overall record is 13-14-1.

Half of your wins this Spring came from State Cup and playing power houses like Washington Capitol Blue and DC Stoddert.

SMH, rankings are all relative buddy. You can’t just count your “good” games. YSR is just a predictive tool with a ranking next to team name. If it was always right, we wouldn’t play games. There will be upsets of both good and bad teams. The system is all based on goal differential and teams are linked through a “six degrees of separation” method. It’s much better than GotSoccer points and helps tournament directors balance brackets much easier.

For example, while SYC got a boost for beating Bethesda (even though it was the 2009 team and just ask how badly they were beaten in scrimmage by the 08s a month earlier...) SYC also lost 3-0 to a lesser ranked Southern MD Rush team a couple weeks ago. That 3-0 loss is more damaging than the win over Bethesda thanks to goal differential.

Also, that VYS over FCV was over a year and half ago. Games lose they’re value on YSR after 18 months, as they should!

Same thing goes for any other team. The teams that climb in their PI index are those teams that always cover the prediction. It’s an extremely fair system where you are rewarded for good performances and punished for bad ones. VDA has been the most consistent even with two ties to Loudoun.

BSC 08 lost to Frederick twice while SYC beaten them twice this season, again its just a good way to keep points as close as possible. BTW SYC lost to that lesser MD team due to scheduling conflicts. SYC participated in a tournament that weekend down in Richmond and won all while driving to Maryland on a Sunday afternoon for a EDP. Should the team just of skipped the game? Maybe. Bethesda pounds their chest but somehow are knocked out of the Maryland state cup while SYC is still in.

That lesser team is in the finals for Maryland state cup while BSC isn't.

Metro can beat BSC at this point SYC beat Frederick twice not once. They played a scrimmage in Springfield right before Bethesda tournament where they spanked Bethesda in the finals. SYC beat Frederick 3-0 ha! Or does scrimmages not count?
