How are the countries ranked?

The countries got points for their performance in the last seasons. Every point a nation scored in the last three years is counted. For every match won in the group stages or the finals the nation got 3 points, for every draw 1 point and a loss ended in 0 points. As you may understand we want to put more weight on the latest results in opposition to the older ones not to give a team a better spot who's players got exchanged the last seasons. So we weighted the seasons 2007 with 1/3, 2008 with 2/3 and 2009 with 3/3 of the whole sum. That makes clear that we care about what the teams did in the past but also focus on the latest results to give our ranking a clearer view to be as near as can be to the real strength of every nation.
