NCU club rankings

Michael Taylor

CricketEurope's NCU Club Rankings are an attempt to quantify the relative strength of NCU clubs based upon the league performance of their 1st, 2nd and 3rd XIs in 2007.
Where clubs have not entered 2^nd or 3^rd XIs, arbitrary values equivalent to a performance worse than that of the lowest-finishing side in each division have been awarded. 4^th and 5^th XIs are not included, because fewer than half of all NCU clubs enter such teams and to further award arbitrary values would seem to prioritise quantity over quality, which is not the objective of these rankings.
1^st XI performance is weighted more heavily than 2^nd XI performance, which is weighted more heavily than 3^rd XI performance. Where clubs have equal ranking points, they are separated by 1^st XI performance.
