CONCACAF Champions League Coefficient

[ArsenalMetro]

I saw standings posted, and figured that I would keep a running tally of my CONCACAF Coefficient, for both club and country, based on the UEFA coefficient. The formulas for calculation:

Federation Coefficient:
Each nation earns a total number of points, which is then divided by the number of teams participating in that edition. The overall coefficient is the sum of that nation's last 5 years. As we're in the middle of the second year, obviously no results have been expunged. Points are earned as follows:

Preliminary round - 1 point for a win, .5 for a draw
4 bonus points for group stage appearance
In the group stage + knockout rounds - 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw
1 bonus point for reaching the quarterfinals, 1 for reaching the semifinals, and 1 for reaching the final.

Club coefficient:
In addition to the federation coefficient, clubs can earn their own individual ranking. The club coefficient is the number of points that club has earned in a particular edition, plus 1/3 of their nation's coefficient from that year. Clubs can only earn points and shift from a 0.0000 ranking if they participate in the group stages.

- Points cannot be earned in the preliminary rounds
- No bonus points are given for group stage participation
- 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw throughout the group stages and knockout rounds
- 1 bonus point for reaching the quarterfinals, 1 bonus point for reaching the semifinals, 1 bonus point for reaching the finals

awesome job metro!

Something I would like to see is a definite standard for bid distribution once the coefficient is firmly in place.

So for our 24 team championship I would like to see as follows
The following is to be applied to Mexico, USA, and Central American leagues based off of their coefficient standings

Leagues 1-2, 2 groups, 2 qualifiers
Leagues 3-4 1 group, 2 qualifiers
Leagues 5-6 1 group, 1 qualifier
League 7 1 qualifier
Leagues 8-9, .5 qualifier (2 legged playoff for entry)

Canada only has three teams therefore their one qualifier is appropriate and Caribbean entry is based off a tournament, so three qualifiers is appropriate, considering the cap is 4 teams. If either Canada or the Carribbean teams deserve an automatic group, then that can be easily readjusted.

For example say you wanted to give the Carribean tournament winner an automatic group slot instead of a qualification slot, then league 6 becomes 2 qualifiers instead of 1 group, 1 qualifier.

Based upon THESE STANDINGS here is how i would distribute the bids.
i know we are on a three year trial run and the current tournament is not yet finished

Mexico- 2 Group, 2 Qualifier
Honduras- 2 Group, 2 Qualifier
Panama-1 Group, 2 Qualifier
USA- 1 Group, 2 Qualifier
Guatemala- 1 Group, 1 Qualifier
Costa Rica- 1 Group, 1 Qualifier
El Salvador- 1 Qualifier
Nicaragua- .5 Qualifier
Belize- .5 Qualifier
Canada- 1 Qualifier
Caribbean- 3 Qualifier

no one deserves as many spots as mexico.


Mexico- 2 Group, 2 Qualifier
Honduras- 1 Group, 2 Qualifier
Panama-1 Group, 2 Qualifier
USA- 2 Group, 1 Qualifier, at most but they still have a lot to prove.
Guatemala- 1 Group, 1 Qualifier
Costa Rica- 1 Group, 2 Qualifier, still a good league but they have to prove themselves again.
El Salvador- 1 Qualifier
Nicaragua- .5 Qualifier
Belize- .5 Qualifier
Canada- 1 Qualifier
Caribbean- 3 Qualifier

Those numbers are off for a number of reasons. First, they consider the CFU nations as individual countries, which, for the purposes of this tournament, the confederation does not do. Also, this takes into account CCC's, which, given the dramatic change in format, is not a fair assessment of the region. It also seems to count UNCAF and CFU qualifiers in the rankings, which is a poor way to judge CONCACAF. Additionally, a pure UEFA coefficient doesn't work perfectly for our confederation, as there is only one continent-wide tournament in CONCACAF.
