Team Rating Index 

The Team Rating Index are a season-long, performance-based rating system designed to reflect competitive results across sanctioned tournaments. Rankings are intended to support tournament seeding, competitive balance, and public reporting. ( THIS IS FOR RESEARCH BASED PURPOSES )

Match Results & Season Performance

All sanctioned matches played during the season are included in the calculation. Teams earn 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 points for a loss. Games played and goal differential are tracked across all events.

Base Rating Calculation

Each team receives a Base Rating that reflects efficiency over the course of the season:

Base Rating = (Total Points ÷ Games Played) × Average Goal Differential

This ensures teams are evaluated on both results and performance consistency, rather than win-loss record alone.

Tournament Placement Bonus

To recognize tournament success, placement bonuses are added to the Base Rating for select events:

• Regional Tournaments:
  1st place +9 | 2nd place +6 | 3rd place +3
  
  

• National Championships:
  1st place +15 | 2nd place +12 | 3rd place +9
  
  

Placement bonuses are designed to reward podium finishes without overriding overall season performance.

Final Rating & Ranking Order

A team’s Final Rating is calculated by adding any placement bonuses to the Base Rating. Teams are ranked from highest to lowest Final Rating. Rankings are updated following each sanctioned tournament and published on a monthly basis.

Roster Continuity

Rankings apply to teams that maintain reasonable roster continuity throughout the season. Teams unable to meet this standard may be temporarily listed at the bottom of the rankings until eligibility is restored.

Updates & Publication

Rankings are updated automatically as results are added and remain in effect until the next published update. If no sanctioned matches are played during a given period, rankings do not change.
