Here is their note:" Our Mid-Atlantic Regional Rankings! THIS IS NOT OPINION BASED, ALL PERFORMANCE. Here is how we arrived at our rankings: These rankings are based off the 2018 results of 16 of the top tournaments throughout the country. This ranking looks at all age levels within a program. Each age level results are combined to create a program wide win percentage. Teams are given a small deduction if a team is not entered in all age groups. Than a “level of competition” adjustment is made (wins in lower brackets do not amount to as much as a win in the highest bracket). Additionally, a small boost is given to a club if they win an age group. This overall win percentage is program wide. Meaning if a program fields multiple teams in each age group we will take the win percentage from all teams entered"
I have a feeling that clubs with B teams are penalized for having worse records averaged in with their A teams' performance.
