Eagle Stix passing Coppermine in the rankings shows how uneven the NGLL National Championships are...

Coppermine lost -6.3 ranking points in a game they won by 7 against a team called Lakeshore that doesn't appear to have won a region.

They also lost ranking points in a game with Yellow Jackets South that they WON BY 17 goals (only 10 count for Goal Differential in rankings).

This will balance out in tournament season, but once you get in the top 5, it hurts you to play anyone outside the top 30 or so, because even if you win in dominant fashion, your ranking points can be impacted. For my two cents, the USA Club Lacrosse rankings are decent by the end of summer, but when you get a result like Eagle Stix passing the team they just lost to, it definitely raises some questions.
