Thanks for the interesting data. To the point of others, it would be better if there was weighting for higher level wins vs bronze. Is it possible to add a point for silver and silver elite wins and two points for gold and above wins? Though it would blow up the 3 point standard, it may bring more meaning to the tables and quiet some detractors. Just a thought...
CSL Club Rankings, Week 2
- Thread starter Daniel Miller
- Start date
A great microcosm example of this is CCU SoCal academy that is an all girls club currently within Crown city United. The six teams have 9 wins and 3 losses and none of the teams are in bronze divisions. This would result in a score of 2.25 for the small club using the model above (CCU average of 1.39). Using my example above, they have 8 games in gold and above with 6 wins and 4 games in silver/silver elite with 3 wins and 1 loss. Weighting gold + with 5 points and silver/elite with 4 points, they have 75% of a weighted average of 4.67 points available for a weighted average score of 3.5. This is a very small sampling, but it shows the possibility.

SILVER ELITE
CCU SoCal Academy teams have performed very well both this year and last. They definitely increase CCU's points-per-game in my table. If CCU Socal Academy were a stand-alone club, it would not be included in my table because it does not have 10 teams or more.

SILVER ELITE
I might try a little partitioning this week. Maybe I will separate out the girls and boys teams. Or Maybe I will separate the gold level teams. So there might be two tables sitting side-by-side. One for all clubs and teams, and perhaps one for just girls, or just golds ... something like that.
While my system of giving each team 3 points for a win is not perfect, neither is a system giving extra weight for wins at different levels. Start with the lowest ages, the 2008s through 2007s. I don't believe there are any gold, silver elite or silver levels for girls at these ages, at least for girls. I believe the boys have a silver bracket for the 2007s. For girls, there are no gold or silver elite brackets at the 2006 age group, either.
Now look at the older ages. There are almost no bronze-level teams from the 1997 through the 2001 years. About 80-90% of all teams are bracketed at silver and above.
The statistical result is as follows: A club with a lot of older teams will always earn more points per game than a club with a lot of younger teams.
Did anyone notice in post #9 the OP put in bold print how HFC is the worst club in CSL? He already tried slamming that club in another thread he started and went thru all the effort to post some meaningless table of stats here in an effort to slam that club AGAIN. Funny how the mods deleted that thread. Instead of spending all that useless time to post this crap...seek help dude. Really.
And as I posted before..my kid doesn't play for HFC..I just got tired of DM bashing them in the previous thread he started and felt the need to speak up. Please don't encourage him about how great his table of useless/meaningless info is when the real agenda behind it is to slam HFC.
Heck..even once the Pres. from HFC got wind of the topic on this forum he created an account to log in and give a legit response of what his club is doing.

BRONZE
FYI - There is a Silver Elite in Boys 07 and Gold in Boys 06
Not a fan of any bashing from anyone. It is interesting that the chart showed HFC as the lowest, and the Pres. comes onto these boards and says they are making changes to the program to improve. So while the chart has room for improvement, in this case it had some accuracy.
Like all charts, from the NFL, college, or High School rankings, to the great charts being used to rank some of the girls 2004 and 2005 teams, I like them all. Fun to discuss, fun to learn more about the great game of soccer. If we all remain adults, and remember it is a game, we can enjoy ourselves even when we aren't on the pitch.
