[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Rankings app is useless for anything under u14. U13 is the first year the data really begins to come together. [/quote] The rankings app seems very accurate for U13 and U14. It gives a range of outcomes with predicted probabilities and an estimated score for any given game. It is not perfect, there is a lot of variability in soccer and at this age. But it seems very useful for what it is intended to do: rank teams in terms of winning probabilities and predict the score of any given game. You can argue that rankings and scores are not important, but you cannot argue that the app is a useful tool to predict those outcomes. QoP is much less useful to predict the winner or score of a game. Maybe QoP measures development, however you want to define that, and maybe that's a good thing. But it's difficult to estimate the score of a game based on the QoP of two teams. [/quote]
