[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Youth Soccer Rankings, although not perfect, is the best tool out there for tournament directors to use to determine divisions.  I actually think it's quite reliable.  I don't know of anything better that's for sure.  certainly not GotSoccer.[/quote]

It's just aggregated a bit differently than GotSoccer, but it's all from the same source which leans heavily on teams that play lots of tournaments or has a league that tracks schedules in got soccer.  [/quote]

Got Soccer is based on points. So winning (or being a finalist) tournaments gets you points. Each tournament is assigned different points.  You also get points for winning leagues, state cup, etc.  So for example, say a team wins a tournament in the top division. They may get 1500 Got Soccer points.  The finalist might get 750 and the 3rd place team zero.  The champion and finalist in the 2nd flight gets points as well. and so on.  however, why should the champ of the 2nd flight get more points than the 3rd place team in the top flight?  So this is a problem.  Youth Soccer looks at every head to head match up and they take into consideration the score.  So that 3rd place team in the top division won't be "punished" for not winning under the Youth Soccer system. They can actually move up if they played a close game against better competition.  To the best of my knowledge, Youth Soccer does not pull in CCL games or NPL games.  It pulls in EDP and NCSL games for sure.  Anyway, I think it's a much better system to look at head to head results as opposed to being based solely on points given to winning tournaments, etc.[/quote]
