American College Cricket has over 70 member colleges, here are the Top 33 clubs in our Power Rankings, as of July 4th.

Power Rankings are based on :

1 – Points at National Championship in Group stages. Final 4 = Top 4, Quarter Finalists receive 3 additional Points. Teams that played in the 2014 National Championship rank ahead of all other teams, regardless of points.
2 – Ranking going into National Championship after 2013 Regionals & 2013 Home & Away season
3 – 2014 American College Cricket Home & Away season so far (1 point per game played)
4 – 5 additional points to teams that have a field to play Home games on campus.
5 – 5 additional Points for Promotion of American College Cricket & your Club in media (college & external), social media (Facebook, Twitter etc) & other general raising of the profile of American College Cricket.

All of the above is dependent on the absence of any disciplinary issue or conduct not in the “Spirit of Cricket” by a club.

The American College Cricket Regional Championships will begin in late Sept 2014 and continue throughout the Fall. The American College Cricket (Home & Away) League season will continue in Sept and end at Christmas Break.
