Rankings

When the IFNA decided that they were going to introduce a ranking system based on games played,won,lost,drawn?? was it in the best interest of countries such as ours?
Think carefully.To improve on our world ranking we have to play and beat countries ranked higher than us. While playing against opponents higher will benefit us,will it benefit them?
I don't think that a country with a top 10 ranking will want to risk losing to a country lower than they are. Do you?
For the first time ever Barbados may struggle to qualify for global tournaments and based on the present rankings from IFNA,it's gonna be a long hard fight. We are 12th at the moment with a total of 85 points followed by Wales ( 13th) and Singapore ( 14th) on 78 and 77 points respectively.
Can we maintain our position? Hard task!
