Comparing the 3 in ECNL age - 05/06-2011. The only two age groups DMCV is 3rd is 05/06 and 08.
05-06: DMCV 3rd , Rebels 1, City 2nd
2007: DMCV 1st , Rebels 2, City 3
2008: DMCV 3rd, Rebels 1, City 2
2009: DMCV 1st, Rebels 2, City 3
2010: DMCV 2nd, Rebels 3, City 1
2011: DMCV 2nd, Rebels 3, City 1
Looking at it - all three clubs are currently equal at the ECNL age groups. Which means between all 3 clubs, DMCV has improved the most because DMCV was at #3 position in all age groups before MW.
Between DMCV and Rebels - 4 out of 6 teams, DMCV is higher ranked. DMCV and Rebels play the same competition teams.
Between DMCV and City - City is ranked 4 out of 6 teams higher than Sharks. but ....if you look at the competition City has been playing, it's an inflated number because their competition is easier, kinda like comparing TOP Hat to Solar.
If you want to go to the 2nd best ECNL team in San Diego today, it's DMCV.
If you just go by YSR without comparing league and competition, then City is the 2nd best option in San Diego but DMCV is still the 2nd best ECNL option in San Diego.
I still think your interpretation of the numbers is generous to DMCV. They are leading in 2007G, where everyone being compared is weak, and they are leading in 2009G, where everyone listed is also weak. Every other year they get beaten whether ECNL numbers alone or rating/ranking numbers. Over time - these numbers will continue to improve, they will plateau, or they will deteriorate - and we'll all have more information about whether they were on the upswing or not.
