Hi all,

I just wanted to bring up a point on here. I think the current ranking system doesn't represent your actual rankings well. For example, I am currently ranked 124 in Canada in D II. There are a total of 79 teams that could potentially be above me if I was the worst D II manager. But the issue is not only am I not 80, I have beaten teams that are ranked much higher above me. There are teams in D III that are ranked higher than me even though I am certain I have a better team.

Not a huge issue, I'm merely bringing it up. Thoughts?

As BB-Perpete says, the Cup and past seasons do also play into it. I actually had been ranked #4 in the USA at one point without ever actually managing to promote out of II.4 or making it beyond the semis of the Tournament. Luckily, ranking matters very little in the game anyhow - anyone in the top 5000 or so can buy players with salaries up to $275k, which is far and away more than almost anyone has need of.

With the merge of small nations, World Ranking is going to count ... a lot

Howl to the Moon, you won't regret it.

But that's a different issue - in a very small nation, there aren't going to be teams in II that are outranked by teams in III because there is no III and maybe realistically no II. I don't even pretend to understand how you'd identify whether the fifth place of 9 "active" users in Senegal should be ranked higher or lower than the 5th of 10 "active" users in Nigeria, for example.
