We decided to have a sligtly more elaborate way to calculate the WC rankings. Here's the calculation:
WC ranking = (((GWQ x 2.5 - GLQx0.6) + PPQ) + ((GWG x 4.0 - GLG x 0.9) + PPG) + 1/4pts (W or L) + 1/2 (W or L) + final 4 place) x 10
GWQ is Games Won in the WC qualifying group
GLQ is Games Lost in the WC qualifying group
PPQ is Position Points in the qualifying round -> 1st = 10, 2nd= 8, 3rd = 6, 4th = 5, 5th = 4, 6th= 3, 7th = 2, 8th = 1
GWG is Games Won in the Group stage of the World Cup
GLG is Games Lost in the Group stage of the World Cup
PPG is Position Points in the Group stage of the World Cup -> 1st = 18, 2nd = 14.4, 3rd = 10.8, 4th = 9
1/4pts are points you get for 1/4 final -> Won = 25, Lost = 20
1/2pts are points you get for 1/2 final -> Won = 5, Lost = 1
4th place = 20
3rd place = 40
2nd place = 60
1st place = 100
Ranking points are currently not shown. We are planing a slight redesign of the "team overview" screen (no promises on when that will happen). When we are done with that the points will be visible for all to "admire".
Best part is the head - Team Handball I think the copy paste might have gone a bit fast

Yet Team Handball doesn't get any preference
Detailed explanation though which is good. Have they said anywhere about whether the rankings will be updated after each game or will it be a once a season thing?

I thinky you should be able to use the bye week on new years to schedule a friendly with the international teams

More for the few ... have to say no to that.
In regards to the rankings, then I hope they update it after the qualification is done and after the World Cup.
