  1. Egdar, in which period the games played on 17 Nov 2007 will go? 0.2 period or 0.3 period?

    I tried to calculate for my team (Belarus), but curiously, the ranking is still 648 points, regaredless of which period that date goes to. (Belarus won a qualifier against Albania on that date and got 975 pts)

  2. 0.2 time frame.

    Well, FIFA rankings can be funny like that sometimes :)

  3. India (144)lost against Kuwait (102) on 14th November. Will India's points be deducted for this loss?

    ReplyDelete
  4. I'm pretty sure this match won't be included in the November ranking.

    However, if it is included, India will lose 8 points and will have 137 instead of 145.

  5. Why would it go to 0.2 frame? Sorry for asking again, it's just not yer clear to me. If I understand correctly, for this month's ranking:
    1.0 frame: 17 Nov 2009 - 16 Nov 2010
    0.5 frame: 17 Nov 2008 - 16 Nov 2009
    0.3 frame: 17 Nov 2007 - 16 Nov 2008
    0.2 frame: 17 Nov 2006 - 16 Nov 2007
    Is this incorrect?

  6. FIFA actually look at 365 days, not 1 year - and this can cause problems because of leap years (2008 was a leap year).

    ReplyDelete
  7. Somehow Cuba has 353 in official ranking and is placed 97th

    ReplyDelete
  8. That's because FIFA have included the draw against Suriname (played after the official Thursday deadline).

    I said at the beginning of the post:

    FIFA could also include matches played between Friday and Saturday, but since I'm not 100% sure about it, I stopped at the official deadline (Thursday).
