[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bethesda lost several key players from their '06 team. The rankings are usually 12-month so their play in 18-19 affects their rankings for 20-21. [/quote] Well that's exactly my point. Although I would suggest that the rankings are actually based on more than 12 months. They seem to work by a win and move up a bit (depending on strength of opponent) and lose and move down a bit. On occasion winning can even result in a fall if your opponent is bad enough (e.g. see Arlington's 5-2 win over Lehigh Valley where their youthsoccer ranking fell). The result is that it actually takes multiple years to move a long way up or down the table. Basically the algorithm isn't nearly responsive enough in en environemtn where - the kids' abilities change rapidly - the teams don't play all that many games (and DA teams especially don't) - the rosters change rapidly - the coaching changes every year[/quote]
