Why is Guam 206th and 209th?
3 Voros // Apr 2, 2009 at 8:18 pm

That’s a good question. I think what happened was that there was an extra team in there at some point and so when I copied the new rankings on one of my spreadsheets over old ones, an old rating of Guam didn’t get copied over. There should only be 208 teams.
