[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest flaw i have notice in that ranking app is i have noticed in the younger ages my kids team could beat a top 20 team 1-0 and you see no real difference in ranking then the next week they beat a  team ranked 500 12-0 and that win bumps your rankings way up.  The first win was a much better win but the app gives way more pts for the second win that wasnt very impressive. The rankings seem to be more accurate the older you get and less of the one sided games exist.   [/quote]

What youre describing is exactly how it should function. Likely the first game the expected result was 3-1 for the top 20 team. Since you won 1-0 nothing will happen with your team. The top 20 team likely dropped 20 spots and is now top 40. The second game you won 12-0 and the expectation was probably 8-1. Which means your team exceeded expectations by 4 goals which pushed up your ranking and the other team was one goal lower then expectations so their ranking went down.

One of the ranking apps issues while not their fault is that some leagues and tournamants cap scores at 6+ goal differentials to limit the impression of blowouts. This holds back teams from gaining in ranking when they score 12-0 wins because they'd be recorded as 6-0.[/quote]
