Where STL Development Academy sits

STL Development Academy — common questions

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 STL 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 1337 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 STL 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 STL Development Academy is shown whatever division it plays in.
Is this betting advice?
No. Ranked XI publishes ratings and probabilities as data. Nothing on this site is betting advice.
