USBL Standings/Stats

[Jeremy]

From the USBL website standings....now I don't know but any other leagues I have seen would rate a record of 4-1 higher than 5-2. How can a team with more losses be ranked higher? This is not the first time I have seen this type of error this year from the USBL website either. Wish someone would get these standings straightened out.

Another thing I noticed, what happened, the beginning of the year they had standings compared between the teams on the statistics page, but no longer see that either, are not enough teams reporting or what? Just would nice to see how we line up compared with the other teams.

When games are of an unequal value (5 vs. 7) you use percentage pts. to rank them. This is why 4-1 is btter than 5-2. Standard stuff really!
