Over the years SCSOCCER.COM has encouraged more parity-based scheduling for non-region games and we have taken the liberty of a holiday weekend to propose the following considerations when composing schedules for the spring of 2006.
These compilations are based on teams comparative strengths using the following criteria: geography; competitiveness; reputation; etc. We based these conclusions on the Massey Power Ratings (2001-04) and cumulative team results and trends since 1993.
We have broken down each division into a "theoretical table" of three leagues divided roughly along geographic lines. The top 40 teams are included in League One, while teams 41-80 are in League Two. League Three consists of all other teams.
