How do you calculate ranking?

Hi,

I've just recently started a league in my home town, and things are going smoothly up till now. But I have just a question: how do you decide which teams ranks where? Just the number of wins? if so, a team that played once and won wil rank higher than a team that played 10 times and had 10 tie's (but a lot of casualties).

What's your systems?

3pts for a win, 1 for a draw. Ties by net TDs, net cas, total Tds, total cas

Alternately, if you want to go back to the American football roots, you can go by Wins, points for, points against, and head to head.

I know next to nothing about American Football, or any other sport for that matter. The scoring doesn't have to be realistic, as long as it's honest.

We have an open league with 5 points for a loss, 10 points for a tie and 15 points for a win.
From this you add (or substract) the TD difference.
The best 3 games of every player are counted.
If 2 are equal, all games count.
In the finals the first plays against the 8th, second against the 7th and so on.
Then semifinal and final.

Or go by w/d/l %, and say a minimum of, say, 10 games must be played to be considered.

So a team that had a record of 15/3/2 would be ranked higher than a team with a 25/1/10 record.

You can always do it buy team rating too, but then that can be to badly affected by a great team getting 10k winnings per match, and the crappiest team rolling 60k winnings per match.

Go for win:loss ratios or award league points for win/loss etc

We have an open league format and use the chess ranking that Galak posted. We do have the requirment that a team must play 5 games before bieng ranked. But outside of that we have ahd teams play anywhere from 6 games a season to 15 games a season and this has kept them in a pretty respectable order.

We use a version of this system in my seven man league where playing patterns are very erratic, some people don't play much (unfortunately this often includes me

), others play all the time (usually against each other). It does a very good job of ranking everybody under these difficult conditions.

Well we have a system developed over the last 7 years...

50 points win
25 points draw
10 points loss

+3 per TD scored
-3 per TD conceded
+1 per casualty caused
-1 per casualty conceded
(+2 per Field goal etc)

DIVIDED BY NUMBER OF GAMES PLAYED for ranking.

HOWEVER

The MINIMUM number of games is 2/3 the AVERAGE, rounding down.... If the MINIMUM is 5 and your team has played just 3, you get 3/5 of your average for the rankings... ETC

Simple

Well no but its effective... And very good for an "open" format
