Methodology

If a team lower in the ladder beats a side higher in the ladder over a series of any length, then they move above their opponents in the ladder, all other sides moving down one place. 

The result is an emphasis on recent series wins - not only do poor sides slide down the ladder as they lose series, but sides also tend to slowly slide down the ladder if they are simply not playing or actually winning series.

The table will be updated following any significant changes.
