Future stars of the AFL come to London - AIS-AFL Academy vs European Legion

Thanks Aaron.

The Ranking calculations for this weekend's international between GB and Ireland look like this:

Assume match points difference less than 40 points:

Ireland win their rate change is up 0.11 to 47.88 Rating Points

Great Britain lose their rate change is down 0.11 to 40.99 Rating Points

No Change in Rank for either nation.

However if Great Britain win then their rate rises by 2.89 to 43.99 Rating Points. Great Britain will rise from 10th to 7th Rank.

Ireland losing will see their rate fall 2.89 to 44.48 Rating points which has Ireland's Rank fall from 4th to 6th Rank.

This match and the return game later this month could very well play a bearing in which Division of the IC11 the teams end up playing in(depending on if there are 3 x team divisions or 2 x 12 team divisions) of course that's if the IC11 organisers dare to use the World rankings as a guide.

eg GB win at least (especially the away game)one then they might avoid the cut off if only 8 teams in division one.

Anyone wondering what these rankings are, you can get at them by pointing at Countries then going to World Rankings on the horizontal menu across the top of this website.

Or go straight there: http://www.worldfootynews.com/staticpages/index.php/World_Rankings

Cam's number crunching shows that Ireland need to win to confirm their number 4 ranking, and GB have a lot to gain by knocking off such a highly ranked team.

READERS PLEASE NOTE:

At World Footy News, we do NOT in any way assume, or want to imply, that the AFL are at present using our rankings to determine divisions for the teams at the International Cup.

(Just to nip any misunderstandings in the bud).

... although they are welcome to do so.

But no, I'm not aware of them looking at them either.

I would guess their first focus would be on the finishing order of teams at the last IC. For new teams... it will be difficult.

Hey guys, I only suggested " 'IF' the organisers 'dared' to look at the Rankings" Don't think a peek would bring any damnation down on anyone :-)

Quite true Cam, but it's amazing how quickly things we write can be mis-quoted or taken out of context and run with elsewhere, so Aaron was just being appropriately cautious.

What Brett said - we just have to be careful.

Love your work though, Cam. Looking forward to seeing how the ranks finish up this weekend.
