STABLE RANKINGS
1) CLAN: 145 pts.
2) TD: 40 pts.
3) RDC: 30 pts.
4) MAIM/XX/WDCS: 15 pts
NOTE: Stable Rankings ONLY include IWF-Wide Major Points. This is being done so that stables that have the �numbers advantage� within leagues are not able to gain an excessive advatange by racking up stable ranking points if in-league points were rewarded. The system is the same one we are using for manager rankings, except in-league points are not being rewarded here. Also, the stable you were in when you won the major title is the stable that will be rewarded with the rankings points. This makes it more fair and less confusing for us.
