Many years ago, I had the intention of designing a Tournament of Champions at the end of the year, where the champs of each tourney would meet, and then the idea was also added to include league champions. Coaches would get points for wins, as well as who they beat, and who those coaches beat, etc. That would determine seedings, and the invitation of any wild cards.
MFCAL basically meets that standard. I designed a set of rankings based on my ideas way back when, which was nicknamed the RooPI rankings. Something simliar to this, if not this, may have been used on Tom Ruesink's web site at some point, though I think it went through some changes along the way (as it should have). I know my Rules for Solitaire Electric Football were there at some point, as well.
The rankings as I originally intended them not only took into account who won tournaments, but who coaches beat along the way, based on points for previous league/tourney finishes/games through a 12-month calendar period. It meant having the result of every game that was played in a tournament or league, and I found after a while that gathering such information just wasn't practical.
I think the MFCAL rankings are a more basic version of what I had envisioned and put to paper way back when.
I don't see any need to re-invent the wheel.
