I can't seem to get the rankings to load...has anyone had any luck getting the SoCal rankings on the site?
It depends.How do these rankings differ from Got Soccer rankings? Which one is more accurate/reliable?
It doesn't distinguish it only goes off of the YS score and the outcome of the game. If a team with a lower YS score beats or even ties a higher ranked opponent, regardless of flight, they will be rewarded. Conversely if a higher ranked team, based on YS score, doesn't beat a lower ranked team by the difference in the YS scores they will be penalized. It’s a great system since all games are taken into account. The system is just starting to come back online so it will take a few weeks to get all of the kinks sorted out. I have emailed the administrator of the site and he has corrected several issues within a day, so if your team is not listed correctly or has missing games just email the admin.It doesn't appear to distinguish between games played against flt 2 vs. flt 1 teams?

So a flt 3 team that is winning most of their flt 3 games will be more highly ranked than a flt 1 team that has a 50/50 record against other flt 1 teams? Sorry if I'm missing something...
No. Go look at the Boys 2004s and 2005s that you comment about. You'll see where the good Flt 2 teams (Chavez, Galaxy) are ranked well above some of the weak Flt 1s.

It really doesn’t matter about the flight it really is based on the YS score. Example would be that LA Galaxy SB (2005 flight 1) is ranked number 1 (Cal South) with a YS score of 33.39 where as San Clemente Surf (2005 flight 3) is ranked 129th (Cal South) with a YS score of 25.94. That means if those two teams played Galaxy would be expected to win by 7 goals or more. If they failed to accomplish that they would most likely lose points and ranking in YS. There are instances where Flight 2 teams are ranked higher than some Flight 1 teams based on the YS score and rankings.So a flt 3 team that is winning most of their flt 3 games will be more highly ranked than a flt 1 team that has a 50/50 record against other flt 1 teams?

I’m not an expert at this but I would say that Strikers, with a GD of +43, have been playing lower ranked teams than Beach (GD +24). Plus you are talking about a YS score of .18 between Beach and Strikers which is negligible. It’s all about your opponent’s strength (YS score) along with goal differential. I’m probably over simplifying it. If also means that Strikers and Beach should be playing up at Flight 1 (IMO).http://youthsoccerrankings.us/
How does it make sense? Strikers SB Black (flt2) is ranked 11th, below Beach Lopez (flt2) who is 8th and had less points per game than Strikers. 17 of the 19 B04 flt 1 teams in SCDSL are ranked below Strikers SB Black (flt2), that includes Laguna FC and Strikers Mission Viejo who finished rank 1 & 2 in B04 flt 1 South division.
Just trying to understand how this "makes sense"...
