Update SR on your phone. The link at the bottom that has shown player statistics for months, yet has been unavailable until now, is now available. You can enter in your own player, and keep track of their stats over time. Those stats can be shared with others, and compared over age groups, geographies, etc. It's a completely different workflow to how SR has worked forever in terms of automatically loading game scores from league and tournament sites, and instead relies on people entering their own stats in. I was skeptical when I first heard of it, but Mark and team have been incredibly positive on this addition for the past few months. We'll have to see over time whether it takes off or not.

Make sure you have updated the app to the latest version. If iphone, pull down on apps from settings, and choose update all; if android, go to play store / manage apps and devices / updates. It should find a new version of SR (4.0.1), and update if needed. On the new app, the link to player stats is now live.

Got it, thanks!

Let me get this straight. Parents will be able to arbitrarily enter in their own players stats that will factor into an individual player ranking? Yeah, I see no issues with that.

Yea, I'm fairly pessimistic about these updates to the app as well. Hopefully it doesn't ruin the most realistic Youth Soccer Ranking system out there. I see no way to view self inputting stats with no way to validate or confirm as legitimate.
Lol yeah there’s noooooooo way that’s not going to be abused. Not possible!!!

That was my first reaction. It's not quite that. If you are already keeping stats on your kid, this is a very streamlined and efficient way to do so faster and easier than you likely could otherwise, and you can do it in real-time. You can also share those stats with anyone you choose - including nobody, your team, everybody, etc. It remains to be seen whether that data, at scale, becomes usable or useless - especially if it is very low quality data, self-entered with questionable quality. Like I said, I was cynical as well, but certainly willing to see how it plays out.
An easy way to address is to give users 30 days to enter old data (from any date) after first use / initial signup.
After the 30 days are up users can only update data on games from current date to 1.5 weeks in the past.
This would force engagement and provide relevance to the data parents enter.

2017 was released on 8/1:
The oldest age group is now 07/06. Rankings in that group will be iffy for awhile, as it now includes some 2007 teams, some 2006 teams, and some "new" teams that are branded 07/06. It will take some time until teams enter tournaments with their new names. Head to head predictions and raw ratings are the same accuracy, as long as the game data assigned to the team is accurate - but the rankings from #1 to #X might look wonkier for a while.

Not sure but I never thought I’d see the day the top 4 clubs in the country would come from Nebraska

I'd give it a day for it to reprocess. Something is way off on the recalcs, they are showing an average rating of 62+. Boys side is hosed as well.
Just send him an email. Things like this usually get fixed quickly.
Something is definitely going on. I spent a good part of this morning recalibrating all the ECRL teams that were in the 2010 bracket for the Davis showcase. For some reason, a large majority of teams had all of their games split and the teams weren’t listed. I had to add them all together again to have them show up on the ranking.

They're on it. Give it a day or two, and things will almost certainly be back to normal.

Haven't seen that from GotSoccer/GotSport in many years. (Knowing that the gotsoccer/gotsport ratings in general continue to be useless). This particular thread was started for YSR that has become SR.
outside!

GotSoccer used to be fairly accurate, but less so as time went by and ECNL became more of a closed system. Compiling the data and computing the ratings is a thankless job that is constantly changing as websites change.

At this point, GS ratings are only slightly better than a coinflip, whether a higher-rated team will beat a lower-rated team. They are almost useless. They are a little bit better for top 100 teams (nationally), as their tournament based bonus system better tracks teams that win or place highly in many tournaments - but they are still quite bad.
