#NYCSoccerWarz Historians

March brought the true start to the #NYCSoccerWarz campaign: the opening of the MLS season.

They say New York loves a winner – and so do we. While off the field business dealings have been the focus so far, the start of actual competitive matches means we needed a system to adequately rank match performance.

So after a furious debate, the following system will be used consistently for the year for ranking points as the outcome of matches:

[colored_box color=”red”]A win is worth +2 points.

A draw is worth 0 points.

A loss is worth -2 points.

Matches played on the road get an automatic +1 bonus to all of these scores.

Earning a shutout on the road is worth a bonus +1.

Being shutout at home removes a penalty -1.

A home sell-out is worth a bonus +1.[/colored_box]

And for derby games – which are fast approaching – base win/loss points count double.

With that out of the way – let’s move on to the month that was.
