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.
