• the IFC Club Ranking released every month would look like this:

Rank Club Rank last month Pts. won TOTAL Pts. 1 Club name, City 5 + 10 50 2 Club name, City 1 +/- 0 48 . … . … … . … . … …

• Clubs ranked in the TOP 20 will lose points AFTER EVERY MONTH. The clubs will lose the total amount of points they won in the same month three seasons before.

Example:

Club xyz: January 2002: +50 pts. Total pts. January 2002: 50 pts. January 2003: +20 pts. Total pts. January 2003: 175 pts. January 2004: +75 pts. Total pts. January 2004: 300 pts.

This would mean that Club xyz would lose 50 pts. at the beginning of January 2005. In January 2006 they would lose 20 pts., in January 2007 75 pts. and so on...

This rule will only affect teams placed in the TOP 20 and will allow lower ranked clubs to get a better ranking, if they perform well.
