[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do parents use these rankings apps for?[/quote]

They're nosy? My kid loves when I give a little scouting report. They're definitely more useful for tournament directors/coaches, but kids aren't dumb. They want to know what the competition looks like. It's also a bit of an incentive when you beat a higher ranked team like any other ranking system.

Far better than beating a random crappy team 8-0 and celebrating like you won the WC[/quote]

So this just feeds the boot-ball winning at all costs over development disease

sure or also - how about all those clubs that sandbag in tournaments just to appease parents. Now you can see - no **** you beat a team by 4 that you claim as the greatest win ever at the club. [/quote]
Clubs can put their teams in lower brackets for wins but all you're doing is forcing your team to win by 5 (just an example) goals to maintain their current ranking.

Here's why. If [/quote]
Here's why, If you play worse teams the ranking app will expect you to win by a large number of goals. If you win rhe game but not by enough goals its less than the expected outcome and the team goes down in ranking. Conversely if the team that lost had more goals than expected they'll go up in ranking.[/quote]
