RANKINGS SYSTEM UPDATE
I've updated a rule in the rankings system to make sure teams that have not played any official games are not ranked higher than teams that have played but lost.
I've also added a new rule where teams that fail to play any official games in a calendar automatically drop down three positions; effective 2001 and onwards.

Old Rule
— If a team is playing their first series and lose it, they join the bottom of the table
Updated Rule
— If a team is playing their first series and lose it, they join the bottom of the table
— However, teams yet to play an official match will still be ranked beneath them

New Rule
Teams that fail to play an official match (either format) in a calendar year drop down three positions in both formats.
