If the games were truly supposed to be ineligible, then USAU erred by not posting them as such. If the games were supposed to count, then USAU ran their rankings with invalid data, calling into question the accuracy of their past published rankings– especially those where the margins have been tight. Recall the 2015 men’s club season, when Kansas City Prairie Fire won the last bid over Santa Barbara Condors by less than 1 rating point, or the previous season when a single-goal score correction flipped a bid from the SW (San Diego Streetgang) to the NW (Portland Rhino), or the 2013 College season where Stanford took the last bid over Texas A&M by one point. I’m sure the people on the losing end of those cutoffs wish they could have checked USAU’s results. These close calls are now shrouded by even more of a second-guessing specter than previously thought.

This problem should be solved by increasing the transparency behind the algorithm results2. Given the prominent implications of possible oversight, USAU should give the public view access to their ranking code, as well as the raw data being inputted. They should also work to more rigorously define their algorithm, beyond the high-level explanation given on the rankings page. At the very least they should take these steps for the preliminary ranking period to make the process more reviewable. When the Affordable Care Act became law, nearly four years ago, it was easy to imagine that the political debate would basically end on January 1, 2014. The law would be taking full effect, with millions finally getting insurance either through Medicaid or subsidized private insurance. There would still be talk of how to fix the law’s flaws and how to fine-tune its strengths. But the debate over whether Obamacare was a fundamentally sound concept would be over.

Now that assumption seems hopelessly naïve. Yes, the Affordable Care Act is settled law. The Supreme Court and the electorate saw to that in 2012. Even most Republicans acknowledge they cannot dislodge the program, although conservatives continue to stir passions—and donations—by vowing to pursue total repeal. But the debate over the law’s merits will continue, at least through the midterm elections and perhaps beyond.
