I did this only for Athena U13, just as a test, using matches posted as of last evening. I only used clubs that had at least three teams over all levels of play. The table is ordered alphabetically by club. Points available and points obtained are self explanatory. Teams Level means that I concocted a level strength number (1 for A, 2 for B, 3 for C, etc; so level C/D gets 3.5 and level E/F gets 5.5) and then summed those values over all teams. The Conversion Factor is the inverse of (Teams Level/Number of Teams). This means that if all teams from a club are in Athena A the Conversion Factor would be 1 and if all teams from a club are in Athena E/F the Conversion Factor would be .182 (so higher is better). I multiply the Uncorrected Strength Index (Points Obtained/Points Available) to get the Corrected Strength Index. So, on average, the Corrected Strength Index is high to the extent that a club's teams are getting lots of available points and are playing at a high Athena level.

My daughter is in that age level and their team has 15 of the 24 total points that NSA has for their 3 teams. Unfortunately, they are the 3rd level team in Athena C/D so as far as club strength, I'd think you'd want the higher teams in the higher brackets (A&B) to be the ones getting the most points but our 2 higher level teams have 1 win, 2 ties and 6 losses respectively in 9 games.

This is true. NSAs uncorrected strength index captures the points being lost by all three teams combined. Your daughter's team is doing the lion's share of work holding up NSAs corrected strength. Note NSAs correction factor is the second highest. So even though their higher level teams are struggling a bit, NSA teams at U13G are playing at a higher average level than every club except Confire Central. They should get credit for that, and they do in the corrected strength index.

Oh and thanks zizou for creating that. It's amazing what some of you guys can do with numbers!

Based on zizou's method I created a full club-based 'adjusted points per game' ranking. I didn't do it quite the same, but I think it works out to mostly the same thing. For each club, I went through each team and came up with adjusted points by dividing their total points by their bracket level. Then added all of that up and divided by the total number of games. Here is the outcome:
2.00: North DeKalb Soccer Assoc. (78.14 adjusted points in 39 games) 1.95: Storm Soccer Academy (62.25 adjusted points in 32 games) 1.64: AFC Lightning (78.87 adjusted points in 48 games) 1.64: Alpharetta Ambush Select Soccer (189.85 adjusted points in 116 games) 1.45: CFC Red Star (111.54 adjusted points in 77 games) 1.44: Tophat (96.29 adjusted points in 67 games) 1.42: Augusta Arsenal Soccer Club (122.18 adjusted points in 86 games) 1.42: NASA Select (337.38 adjusted points in 238 games) 1.40: Norcross Soccer Academy - Academy & Select (245.65 adjusted points in 175 games) 1.39: AFC Lightning (102.95 adjusted points in 74 games) 1.38: Concorde Fire S.C. (349.31 adjusted points in 254 games) 1.36: GOL Soccer Academy (186.50 adjusted points in 137 games) 1.34: Decatur-DeKalb YMCA Soccer Club (69.50 adjusted points in 52 games) 1.34: South Georgia United (94.86 adjusted points in 71 games) 1.32: Atlanta Fire United Select (294.03 adjusted points in 222 games) 1.30: United F A- 01 (387.58 adjusted points in 299 games) 1.28: Lanier Soccer Association Select Program (76.71 adjusted points in 60 games) 1.20: GOL Soccer Academy (92.53 adjusted points in 77 games) 1.17: Inter Atlanta FC Blues (108.00 adjusted points in 92 games) 1.17: YMCA Arsenal Rome (51.64 adjusted points in 44 games) 1.16: S S A (376.32 adjusted points in 324 games) 1.14: Georgia Rush Select (94.80 adjusted points in 83 games) 1.12: Macon SC Select (81.43 adjusted points in 73 games) 1.03: Roswell Santos Soccer Club (95.22 adjusted points in 92 games) 1.03: RYSA Select & Academy (71.98 adjusted points in 70 games) 1.02: North Georgia Soccer Association (50.80 adjusted points in 50 games) 1.01: Dacula Select (94.35 adjusted points in 93 games) 0.98: Chiefs FC (111.68 adjusted points in 114 games) 0.90: Cobb YMCA Academy & Select (120.11 adjusted points in 134 games) 0.88: Athens United SA (56.25 adjusted points in 64 games) 0.86: HCSA Thunder Soccer Club (48.34 adjusted points in 56 games) 0.84: Georgia Futbol Club (95.04 adjusted points in 113 games) 0.84: SSA Oconee (66.26 adjusted points in 79 games) 0.82: Griffin Y.S.C. (46.12 adjusted points in 56 games) 0.80: Cherokee Impact Select (53.12 adjusted points in 66 games) 0.80: Richmond Hill Soccer Club (25.67 adjusted points in 32 games) 0.77: Fayette Futbol Club (44.49 adjusted points in 58 games) 0.66: CGSA Strikers Soccer Club (43.95 adjusted points in 67 games) 0.63: Villa Rica Soccer Association (32.13 adjusted points in 51 games) 0.59: SSA Savannah United (47.13 adjusted points in 80 games) 0.58: Tiger Soccer Club (17.52 adjusted points in 30 games) 0.49: Bluesprings Youth Soccer Ass. (21.17 adjusted points in 43 games)
For comparison, here is the unadjusted points per game for each club:
3.45: YMCA Arsenal Rome (152 points in 44 games) 3.42: South Georgia United (243 points in 71 games) 3.10: North DeKalb Soccer Assoc.

2.00: North DeKalb Soccer Assoc. (78.14 adjusted points in 39 games) I had to look this one up, since they were the top by this measure. This is where Alianza teams are playing now.
