US Club Lax is a formula based ranking. They also cap the number goals a team wins by. The ranking is heavily influence by strength of schedule of opposing teams. Unfortunately US Club Lax data is filled with errors so rankings are flawed at this point. Look for a revised list in a couple of weeks once they clean up their data. Also their rankings in general don’t have enough games in the season to give a true ranking - every team needs around 30plus games to make this ranking methodology accurate.
Hard to have confidence in a system when the #1 ranked LI Express has a losing record of 1-5 against the Hawks ranked #7 and Tiger ranked #3 and both those teams won all the tournaments and only have one loss. To say the Hawks are not #1 is crazy.
Agreed. US Club lax guy really needs to do some data quality review on his rankings. Last time it was also a mess. This comes across as a guy in his basement doing a bad cut and paste job. He needs to add some people to his staff or not bother putting out a ranking.
Is the MadLax Monuments 13U WSYL team a legit 2026 team or just their WSYL team? Why are they listed separately and why aren’t their games counted for/against ML Capital like every other club playing in WSYL?
How are the National teams like 3d National and MadLax National being factored into this entire equation? Those teams have very high ratings of 97.68 and 93.55 respectively, yet don’t appear in the ranking list and only have only played in 5 games in the club nationals tourney? If they’re not in the ranking list, should their ratings be counted? My guess is their ratings are included and are boosting others’ SOS … re: TommyKnockers.
Alcatraz Outlaws have played 6 games and none of them against anyone in the top 25, yet are ranked higher than teams like BBL, True Annapolis, MadLax Capital, Prime Time, etc.?
