With the second WFTDA official rating and ranking of the season ( https://wftda.com/rankings-february-28-2019/ ), we’re keeping to our promise to update our “Road to Playoffs series”.
Speedy Convalesce, Head NSO of Mannheim’s Delta Quads, as well as many other things, is here to help us better visualise what’s likely to happen at Playoff selection. This ongoing series reports the ratings and rankings of the top 100 WFTDA teams, calculated as if we were at June 30th 2019 [the ranking which will be used to decide Qualifications and seedings into both WFTDA Playoffs, and the Continental Cups].
Whilst we can’t predict the future, this will give the best guess of what teams need to do to qualify, based on what they’ve already done.
As well as attaining a minimum ranking, teams also need to play at least 4 bouts within the eligibility period (December 2018 to June 2019), and we’ll be tracking their progress on this measure, too.
The list, updated for this month: (# is number of bouts contributing to the ranking, whilst #El is the number of bouts contributing to their eligibility for playoffs). We’ll colour teams to indicate when they’ve played their minimum number of games for eligibility, but as yet, it’s too early for anyone to have met this. We’ve eliminated any teams which have played less than 2 games since July 2018 here. Teams which have shifted rating (or entered the chart for the first time) since the last article are in BOLD ITALICS.

[We plan to update this list each time WFTDA release a rating and ranking until Playoffs selections]
As you can see, the re-weighting isn’t just a technical thing, it produces real effects, visible at the very top of the table. We also have less movement than in the full WFTDA calculation, as some teams move due to the weightings of their bout changing from month to month – whilst our weightings are constant (and relative to the final qualification rating).
