Season 2025–26 · Thought Experiment · Not an official RFU metric
The Midlands Rugby Pyramid Ranking
263 clubs. Six levels. Ranked by the same metric the RFU uses for promotion decisions — points percentage. Two views, two modes. Use the walkover toggle to see where the official picture and the adjusted picture diverge.
Pyramid Ranking
Clubs ranked within their level. A club bottom of Regional 1 always sits above a club top of Regional 2 — same as the real pyramid. Competitive context preserved.
Bournville: #1 overall · Moseley Oak: #13 (L6 1st)
Flat Performance Ranking
Level stripped away. Every club ranked purely by points percentage. The most honest measure of season efficiency — but competitive context is lost.
Woodrush (L9): #1 overall · Boston (L9): #1 official → #6 adjusted
Pyramid Mode — Official RFU view: Clubs grouped by level (Regional 1 → Counties 4), ranked within each level by official points percentage. This is how the RFU sees the season. Use the walkover toggle to apply the Grassroots Pulse adjustment and see where the picture changes.
Walkover adjustment active. Escalating penalty applied to clubs that conceded walkovers (−1pt first, −2pt second, −3pt third...). Try bonus point removed for walkover awards. Official RFU points shown with penalty tag where adjusted.
