Averaging PPG and cumulative isn't exactly the same.


U15 and up play everyone once. U13 & U14 play local teams twice and out of state teams once.


Boy and Girl schedules appear different from what I could see on the ECNL webpage. Girls play each team twice, while Boys play as you describe above (twice in-state, nearby/once out-of-state).


I should have stated that was for the boys. Girls have different teams/numbers.

For U13/14, one game for out state teams, double games (Home/away) for in state teams.


Doesn't seem to add up. 2011's and 2010's this season for MA will play 24 league games. U15+ is different and probably more like you're describing for the spring sit out.


There are 8 VA teams and 8 NC teams. Home and away against same state teams (14 games). Play each out of state team once (8 games). 22 games total. Not sure how the schedule will work next year with the conference losing a team due to the Brave/Union merger.

Not always. Sometimes games are not played at the end of the season if they don't matter. In the Mid-Atlantic conference the schedule is unbalanced at the U13 & U14 age groups. You play local teams twice and out of state teams once. This is one reason for PPG existence. The other? It's used as a seeding metric for the national playoffs.


Each conference has a different number of teams and it allows for seeding based on PPG for playoffs.

It’s the same. Are you dumb?

Are there any upsides to doing it via PPG vs just cumulative points? Don't know which way is better, just don't know why they chose the top 5 with PPG vs cumulative.
