[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine if you're a top team and want to play in a local tournament but all the teams participating aren't very good. Just to maintain your high ranking you'll need to beat the not highly ranked teams by 3+ goals. If the tournament isn't allowing for more than a 6 goal differential there's no incentive to play because there's no way to advance in the rankings. Even worse say the whole team gets sick and they lose they'll drop like a rock in the rankings.

By tournaments trying to be "nice" and not allowing blowouts they've unknowingly created a situation where no top teams will participate.[/quote]

Or, sign up under a slightly different name. The apps generally track based off the name. Even if they did track by ID it isn't difficult to make a new one.

Ultimately though, the only ones who care at all about those ranking apps are parents [/quote]
I 100% know how to game the app + look for situations where teams can up their ranking. But this not not important.

I'm just calling out that "being nice" by coaches or leagues or tournaments + not allowing or going for blowouts screws over highly ranked teams. [/quote]
