US Club Lax is a formula based ranking. They also cap the number goals a team wins by. The ranking is heavily influence by strength of schedule of opposing teams. Unfortunately US Club Lax data is filled with errors so rankings are flawed at this point. Look for a revised list in a couple of weeks once they clean up their data. Also their rankings in general don’t have enough games in the season to give a true ranking - every team needs around 30plus games to make this ranking methodology accurate.
Hard to have confidence in a system when the #1 ranked LI Express has a losing record of 1-5 against the Hawks ranked #7 and Tiger ranked #3 and both those teams won all the tournaments and only have one loss. To say the Hawks are not #1 is crazy.
Agreed. US Club lax guy really needs to do some data quality review on his rankings. Last time it was also a mess. This comes across as a guy in his basement doing a bad cut and paste job. He needs to add some people to his staff or not bother putting out a ranking.
I agree. He needs to hire a support staff and a qualified CEO.
Needs to get more data and facts behind the rankings. Unfortunately, people will start looking at these as a joke. Shouldn’t bother putting out rankings until actually have some real basis behind them
For anyone who has watched the 2026 level play, it is clear that Hawks and Express are 1&2 or 2&1 depending on who you ask. Then Tigers and Sweetlax are 3&4 or 4&3.
In 2021 Express beat the Hawks, Tigers beat Express, Hawks beat Tigers and Express beat Sweetlax four times, parity at the top
