This Week’s Belgotex Sports U14 Rankings sees a marginal change from last week with Paarl Boys High climbing into the top 10 for the first time in 2017.
There has been a tremendous amount of interest and support for the rankings which we appreciate.
It must be remembered however that this is a grownups rankings equation and not a simplistic win/loss ratio which may be what some are looking for but is far too parochial.
This ranking algorithm makes use of several factors in the equation which includes: Home/away, margin of victory, margin of loss, actual points scored on the field and most importantly the strength of the opposition.
All these factors garners a team with a prescribed amount of bonus points which is accumulated and divided by the amount of matches played to render an “avg points” which is ultimately ranking a team.
As there are many variables taken into consideration it stands to reason that a result cannot be taken in isolation to all the other results that have been played and therefore it would be too naive to assume that just because TEAM A won their last match they should automatically be going up the table. Other results were also played and will have a bearing on the equation and the final standing of all the teams.
It is most important to get any outstanding results in and we encourage you to send them to editor@saschoolsports.co.za to ensure they are included.
