When Spallina plays they win, so leave it alone if they drop or are not in certain tournaments. No one can really argue this.

The ranking formula can certainly be argued as tainted. If you keep playing top competition but lose EVERY time team should drop much further down until they beat a team ranked ahead of them. Ditto for teams that win and drop. System flawed and the problem is that parents freak out about the rankings. I'm just yapping into the wind here, I know, but just sayin...
