Is this the official Midwest Premier League ranking?
No. Ranked XI is an independent national table. Midwest Premier League publishes its own standings; this page places Michigan Development Academy on one scale that runs from MLS to the grassroots so clubs in different leagues can be compared.
What does a rating of 1356 mean?
It is an Elo-style strength estimate from real match results, calibrated across leagues on about 600 U.S. Open Cup results. Higher is stronger. It is a measure of form and level, not a prediction that Michigan Development Academy would win any particular match.
Why is a club from another league listed as a rival?
"Nearest rated rivals" means nearest by distance, not by league. Because every club sits on one scale, the closest club to Michigan Development Academy is shown whatever division it plays in.
Is this betting advice?
