FBR 07 April 12th, 2017

Updated 07 FBR as of 4/12/17. Only 07 teams with 3 or more games played since 11/21/16 are included in the FBR published rankings. All games in the U10 leagues and tournaments that "publish results" are included.  07 vs 07 games in U11 division are also now included.  The crazy AP switch is behind us, so 07 teams playing up have been playing as pure 07s.  IF FBR07 gets wind an 07 team plays with 06s on their roster, that specific game or potentially all of those games in higher division will be removed for that team.

Remember, ranking points are derived from who you play and their tier(not your own tier) and, how well the teams you play do.  As always regulation scores are used for FBR, not OT and no PKs that determine game result(if known).  FBR is presented as W/L/T not W/T/L.  While BWGophers consults, advises and offers technical advice, this FBR is the sole representation of FBR07,  any and all complaints(and compliments) should be directed to FBR07.  These rankings use the same software and criteria as with all prior year FBRs.

Feel free to PM or email if you think there is an error with your team or if you have any questions.  GotSoccer is generally used to determine team name/coach/club, please message me of any recent changes.

Why does the start date for scores move forward some weeks and not others?

I try to keep around 16 weeks of games, there was a lot of idle time over Christmas. I counted up the weeks of games this time, and have 16 with this FBR. More data is generally better for more accurate ranking.

Makes sense, thanks.

There's that, and then there's the fact that if he moves the time period up another week, as he usually does, then his daughter's team doesn't have enough games, they drop out of the rankings, and then they don't get to be #1 any more.

Yeah, and forfeits don't count, and PrimeTime won't reschedule his DDs forfeited games against two of the better teams in the age group because it was too close to the end of the season, even though it rescheduled an entire weekend of rainouts that happened the week after the forfeits.

Whoa! I sense some hostility in this thread.

As I always said when people didn't like my FBR06..... start your own. Most people just prefer to complain and point fingers though.

Wow....it's amazing how people become idiots over kids soccer.....if you do not like his rankings, start your your own. It's very simple.

I appreciate the rankings. I can't tell you how many times a boys academy player's parent has told me how jealous they are of the FBR rankings. It makes the games so much more exciting and meaningful.

Ah, I knew the JM apologist would show up to comment on this thread! So what fact about my post was untrue! I just find it peculiar how the rules ebb and flow with his rankings to the benefit of his daifhter's team. Just interesting, that's all! Thanks for your thoughts, though!
