Game Day 5 - Canada\\\'s Northern Lights top the US Freedom

Jake,

Were those matches between the Lights and Freedom 9-a-side or full 18-a-side matches that could be included in a World Ranking Scheme similar to the men. Were all the players Kanucks and Yanks? If not,what %age were nationals?

Both 18-a-side matches, Cam. So were the two games played in 2007, though those were a bit mickey-mouse in that none of the Canadians had played footy prior and some were ring-ins on the day.

Percentage of nationals was very high - 1 player from the US was Aussie, and from Canada two were Aussies plus one Iranian national. The agreement reached between the teams was that non-nationals needed to have learned their footy in North America an be permanent residents. In effect, they had to have positively contributed to local development - no ring ins.

Thanks Jake,

If we could find the scores for all the games you metioned, those matches could be used to start off a Women's World Ranking along with the IC11 matches.

Brett wondering whether Tobietta might be(or a mate) interested in being the custodian of the women's ranks(getting ready to duck here). Not a lot of work, cos not a lot of matches played yet.
