Ranking based on the best 5 results in each of the last 4 years

Here you go Amir.

The calculation of match points is the same as the FIFA ranking formula (including the 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 multiplier). For each team, the best 5 results in each 12 month time frame are added up and divided by 5. If a team doesn't have 5 matches that year, it will still be divided by 5.

Ranking based on the best 18 results in the last 4 years

Since jos235 and Amir insisted...

The calculation of match points is the same as the FIFA ranking formula (including the 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 multiplier). For each team, the best 18 results are added up and divided by 18. If a team doesn't have 18 matches, it will still be divided by 18.

I don't think it's better.
