THE ALLIANCE RATING SYSTEM

BASED ON THE ELO RATING SYSTEM.

• All teams start off with an initial Alliance Rating of 1600 points at the beginning of the season.
• You must score the game in AthletesGoLive (AGL) in order to receive points.
• Teams exchange points based on outcome of games
  • A team that does better than expected improves its rating
  • A team that does worse than expected lowers its rating

• Stronger teams must beat weaker teams consistently to maintain or increase rating
• Weaker teams can play stronger teams without having to win a lot of games and still improve their rating
• Teams have an incentive to play STRONG teams
• A team’s overall Alliance Rating will determine league rank. You can find team rankings on Member League sites.
• Leagues will use the Alliance rating system to determine seedings at League Championships as well as placement in the event.
• The AFCS will determine seedings based on results of the league summer championship as well as Alliance ELO ratings.

STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE

Our Strength of Schedule rankings represents the average difficulty of those opponents that each team has faced during the season. The strength of an opponent is determined by their ranking. A low opponent average ranking (opp avg) indicates a difficult schedule, whereas a high opponent average ranking suggests an easier schedule.

STRENGTH OF VICTORY

Our strength of victory is figured by calculating the combined winning percentage of the opponents a team has beaten.

ALLIANCE POWER POINTS

Alliance Power Points (APP) will be awarded when traveling to a different League’s territory or when playing a traveling team from a different League in an Alliance endorsed event.
