WFN World Rankings post Fiji v Nauru Test Series

It's 4 years. See www.worldfootynews.com/staticpages/index.php/World_Rankings_Method

If a country does not play for more than 4 years they lose their position but not their ranking points, i.e. they become provisional again. If a country does not play for 8 years they will also lose their ranking points altogether, starting from scratch when/if they resume competition, unless a special case is considered.

They are considered provisional be it for not enough games OR not played for > 4 years, but yes for the latter we also describe that specific case as dormant.

Given Denmark as a topic of conversation - we haven't see a Denmark/Germany/Sweden tri-series for some time now.

Is there any chance of some form of Scandavian/North European championship.

I agree its not really the ranking system that is at fault, but the lack of real matches to produce data. You do have to remember Denmark got smashed in their last three games by Great Britain, Nauru and Ireland.

Even in my alternative World Rankings, based on the Elo ranking system, Denmark are 12th. Or 13th if i included Australia, but back to 12th if i made Samoa dormant.
