Gremlins Remain Atop Mid-Season ISC Rankings

Blair Setford • July 3, 2024

Mid-Season Rankings List

 New York Gremlins, undefeated so far in 2024, remain atop the mid-season ISC rankings.


There was no change in the top four teams with Hill United Chiefs in at #2, Bear Creek Express at #3 and NorthEast Drillers at #4. Toronto Batmen and Circle Tap Dukes swapped in the #5 & #6 positions. JB, AWP Lumberjacks and Grand Prairie Pirates are the next three teams, separated by a mere nine points. Kegel Black Knights round out the Top 10.


The summarized rankings are listed above. Shown in the photo below are the raw results from each individual ranking committee member.


The Rankings Committee will release the final rankings right after the July 19 weekend, with the 2024 ISC World Tournament bracket being posted shortly thereafter.


The committee is overseen by Greg Nydick, Rich Haldane, and Bill Berkenpass. We selected 15 committee members from across North America. The committee is made up of Players, Coaches, Administrators, and Associates. We hope this diverse selection balances each other out and allows for all teams to have rankers that see them.

The ISC will continue its search for a new Executive Director to assume the role. In the interim, the duties of Executive Director will be shared amongst several in the organization. 2. Under Regional definitions, players from Oregon and Washington may play in BC in the Canada West region and be considered in-region and players from BC may play in Oregon and Washington in the US West region and be considered in-region. 3. An ad-hoc committee will be appointed to review the ISC World Tournament Host Committee contract to modernize and update the document. 4.
