(Do not use the power ratings to compare First Division teams vs. Second Divison. The scoring is relative to the league the teams play in only)

The power rating uses the following factors:

Wins, ties (weighted more heavily for road wins or ties).
Record of the opponent
Goal differential (up to 3 goals, no bonus for running up the score)
Only matches that count in United Soccer Leagues standings are used
For win percentage, ties count as half a win
Strength of schedule is only for games that have been played
