Magic and Freedom top SYL rankings

• by Paul Kennedy  @pkedit, Oct 24, 2008

The Chicago Magic (boys) and Washington Freedom (girls) have been named the top clubs in the annual Super Y-League First and Second 11 club rankings for the 2008 regular season.

The rankings recognize the league's top clubs on a competitive and administrative basis. The release of the list precedes the 10th Annual Super Y-League North American Finals, which begin Nov. 21 in Tampa.

The extensive growth of the USL Super-20 League in the past three seasons has led to the inclusion of the under-20 league in the ranking process. The rankings are based primarily upon the on-field results. Winning percentage accounts for 70 percent of the score while minimum standards and operations complete the other 30 percent.
