How rankings work

Released every Tuesday at 8 PM Eastern and frozen until the next one. Teams need 5 games to earn a seat. The rating is 70% points per game, 20% the opponents’ points per game, and 10% goal difference. Goal difference counts only up to 1.5 per game. The same rating shares a place. The top 25 hold a seat, and the next 10 are at the door. Last week is each team’s place in the previous Top Table. More on the method.
