Divisions » 2008 Winter Indoor Sunday Women's » View

This is the recommended choice for large divisions (16 teams or more), divisions where there is a large variation in team skill levels, or divisions where there are not enough games in the season for every team to play every other team.

Division standings are based on team ratings, with rating points either transferred from the loser of a game to the winner, or regularly recalculated based on all known results.

NOTE: If you use this schedule type, be sure not to select the "None" rating calculator.

The Modified Elo calculator is an older variant, retained primarily for backward compatibility. It has been found to have shortcomings when used for Ultimate. It is not recommended for use in new leagues.

This uses a modified Elo system, similar to the one used for international soccer, with several modifications:

• all games are equally weighted
• score differential bonus adjusted for Ultimate patterns (a 3 point win in soccer is a much bigger deal than in Ultimate)
• no bonus given for home-field advantage
