WOW, someone that complains that they cannot understand how someone has enough time to do this has enough time to post 10+ comments himself pretending to be other people. Your life is much much sadder than once thought.

yea, it would be nice if you could see a whole league at the same time, or just see how your team would do against all of the teams in another league.Originally posted by Guest View Post
I would also like the app to list futures games so you can see what is expected.Comment

So some guy that is fortunate enough to retire (I am a little jealous and the guy complaining is probably extremely jealous) spent some time doing something that others might enjoy (I do), and this other bozo is acting like he probably acts on the sidelines. You must be a huge embarrassment to your children (and probably proud of it)Comment

Well, to be clear, there are at least two posters mocking you. Maybe three.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

By acting on the sidelines meaning no obsessing over the game and just watching kids enjoy themselves, you would be correct.Originally posted by Guest View Post
If you mean obsessing over potential results and rankings of a youth soccer game, I think you have a better example of "obsession", But, yeah, go on......Comment

there are some wacky inputs. For example, some summer teams are ranked really high off just one or two quality wins (that may not have actually been against true teams) and/or blowouts vs teams in younger age groups. It also seems to disproportionately weight wins vs lower teams than close games vs higher level teams. Winning 10-0 or winning 5-0 isn’t really too different. They might mark a result red because of the difference which happens sometimes in tournaments if a team is already guaranteed to advance. It’s almost like the longer the history, the stickier the ranking. There is a team ranked like 5 spots lower than my daughter’s team that has beaten us the last 2x. The algorithm is far better than the gotsports point system, but could be vastly improvedOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

no, by treating people disrespect and thinking you know everything. So sad, you do not probably even see it and cant figure out why your kids and the other parents hate youOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

And I care about other parents...why? As for my kid, she thanks me for what I provide for her and that I'm not one of "those" parents who treat her games like it's the NFL.Originally posted by Guest View Post
If standing and watching my kid play and not getting involved in the stupid sideline antics of the obssessed few makes me one to hate, I'm OK with that.
I'm not the one bragging about my financial situation. You have no idea who I am, what I make, and what I do for work. Yet, you pulled a roll of quarters out of your a55 and proudly led with it. Enjoy. You'll be dead of a heart attack at this rate by the time you hit 55 with all that obsessionComment

"Hi dad, how do you think I played today?"
"Truthfully honey, I have no idea. I really don't know much about the game and spent much of it talking to other parents. But, I do see it appears you won 2-1, and according to my study I expected it to be 3-0 so I'd say you didn't do too well. Do you mind velcroing my sneaker for me? I can't reach it any longer."Comment

in a head to head match up in the regular season rankings app tends to be a a better gauge of results
Too many variables to consider for a tournament..
1. field size
2. length of games
3. back to back game vs 1st team game
Did you go through each matchup individually for both groups?
I agree with some posters that the data they use tends to be dated. Further some teams switch names constantly to improve standings and finally some includes summer team results while most do not bc it’s a mixed bag of development, In my opinion too much data to incorporate but serves a purpose to flex muscle.

There are a few different ranking apps.
Got soccer is the worst as it only captures their own data
The Soccer Ranking App is way better as it seem to capture more and have a better algorithm for reporting.
I find it to be surprisingly accurate, it obviously cannot account for added / missing talent on any given day...Comment

The parents who mock rankings are either unwilling to make personal sacrifices to have kids play on better teams or their kids just aren’t good enough to make those teams.Comment
