This and previous posts have now completely convinced me that the RPICH is
a lousy ratings system.  Is there a better one?  CHODR is nice but total
goals
scored isn't a great indicator of winning ability.  Anyone want to
nominate another one?
 
(of course, with so few non-league games, almost any system is doomed to
failure, but the problem quoted above is fairly major)
