Kentucky Christian University Knights — common questions
Is this the official NAIA ranking?

What does a rating of 1250 mean?
It is an Elo-style strength estimate from an independent results model, calibrated across leagues on about 600 U.S. Open Cup results. Higher is stronger. It is a measure of form and level, not a prediction that Kentucky Christian University Knights would win any particular match.
Why is a club from another league listed as a rival?
"Nearest rated rivals" means nearest by distance, not by league. Because every club sits on one scale, the closest club to Kentucky Christian University Knights is shown whatever division it plays in.
Is this betting advice?
