    Gotsoccer - a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

    Will someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE explain how the heck Gotsoccer rankings work?

    The NEFC Elite U14 Boys (last year's U13) won the NEP Spring 2014 U13 Premiership bracket and received 2075 Gotsoccer points.

    FC MASS came in 3rd in the NEP Spring 2014 U13 Premiership bracket and received 2509 Gotsoccer points.

    GPS - MA Boston Elite came in 5th in the NEP Spring 2014 U13 Premiership bracket and received 2302 Gotsoccer points.

    Aztec Soccer Boys 00 Black came in 6th in the NEP Spring 2014 U13 Premiership bracket and received 1508 Gotsoccer points.

    Am I missing something? How do I crack the code?

      A flight has a certain worth, say 5000 points. A first place/champion will receive 5000 points minus 20% of current points. A second place in a tournament will receive half, so 2500 minus 20% of current points. League points are graded differently, but you still need to subtract 20% of the current points. Hover your mouse over the points awarded and you will see the calculation. Many times a higher ranked team will receive fewer points for an event because they already have alot of points and hence the 20% reduction is significant.

          You went to all the trouble to look up several specific teams, and you couldn't find the description?

          Find any Valeo thread, those parents will tell you how it works.

              Can someone explain the rationale behind the 20% reduction of current points?

                Flight Value?

                If the top 5 teams have the following number of GS points:

                4000
                3000
                2000
                1000
                500

                For simplicity let's assume that all their points are in play. Is this the computation for the flight value:

                (4000 + 3000 + 2000 + 1000 + 500) / 5 = 2100 flight value

                  Tournament flight value is explained on GotSoccer.

                    No. The flight value is based on the top 5 team's national rankings, not the team's points. A team ranked in top 1% brings 10,000 pts, top 2% brings 7,500 pts, etc.

                    Just read the GotSoccer faqs, it's all explained there.
