Flag Football is a sport and tournaments create a more competitive environment for teams to strive to be number one. It can also drive athletes whose nature it is to achieve the highest status to measure personal performance.

We use a ranking system to compare whether it be team or individual for social fun and/or competitiveness.

We also rank teams to for the history of female flag football players and teams.

Another purpose to rank teams on every level is to help organize the sport as the IWFFA works to professionalize women’s flag football.

We admit, that by appointing any certain system, it may become vulnerable to unfairness and turn out not to be the best system to use, therefore, we have made changes throughout the years and are always open to comments and suggestions.

Our goal is to allow teams to see how they perform against all the other teams around the world and in their own countries.

In 2002, the IWFFA adopted a system which was suggested by Stephanie Vigneault of Montreal Canada, who thought it fairer to allow teams the ability to accrue points during tournament competition. So far, we feel that this system offers the best method to rank teams and we continue to use today.
