Why rating last season?

Lancashire 2nd?

Doing badly in Div. 1 is worth more than winning Div.2

What about the teams that did well in the 1st division?

 

[Jamee999]

This is on ALL competitons in 2004, not just The County Championship.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Are these just random numbers, then?

 

[Swervy]

Doing badly in Div. 1 is worth more than winning Div.2

despite the fact that in fact probably in any given year, there is a good chance that maybe 3 or 4 teams in division 2 are as good as at least the bottom 2 , if not better in fact...due to the 3 up 3 down rule

waiting on a statistically based formula from neil to produce real ratings...

I'll post an explination then.

For the County Championship, each team is given points based on where they finish, 1 point for coming top of Division 1 and 18 points for coming last in Division 2, the same is done for the National League.

For the C&G, 1 point is given for winning the competition, 2 for coming second, 3 for going out in the Quarter Finals and so on.

For the Twenty20, the theory is the same, until you get to the teams who didn't qualify for the Quarter Finals, for these teams, you add 2 to where they finished in the group to get there points.

You will have noticed that the best teams will now have very few points. We now take away the amount of points a team has from 100. Then we times the result by 10, to give us a nice big number.

The tie-breaker used, if neccesary should be County Championship position.

There you have my method.
