Our Fall Leagues are well underway, and Indoor Fall kicks off this Monday. For more details on the League, check out the info in the menu above. We are trying out a new league format for Indoor Fall. Basically, the website will automatically decide the schedule based on the rankings of each team. The goal being that you will always play against a team each week that offers you the most competition. More questions?
The mysterious magical ratings ladder:
– What it is? A system that match-ups teams with similar rankings in order to give teams even games for most of the season.
– How does it calculates rankings? It uses the USAU college ranking algorithm. Want to know more about it? Read here:

– When are the rankings adjusted? After each game, therefore it is important that all scores are entered by Tuesday!
– Games are posted on a week by week basis.
– Is it going to work from the very first game? No. At the start all teams have the same ranking score, but as the league progresses, just like with a tiered ladder, the ranking ladder should even out the playing field.
– Will we always play the same team? No, you will play at least 4 different teams before you see the same team again.
– I still don’t get it! Find Tiago and get him to explain it to you, he likes beer and colourful shorts.
