1. How can I be on the list for top 100 teams in the Big Leagues, but not for the 5* league?

2. How come there are teams in that show five stars when you look them up, but when you play them they are actually 1*?

The teams on the top 100 list are on there based on their winning percentage. And the teams that are 5* and then 1* when you play them do that because they have not been trained in a very long time. If you look at their team page, and then look under the stars, you will see either "today", "yesterday'', etc. But if they say "Long time ago" and "Very long time ago" this means that they have probally lost all their skills but nobody has trained them to get their *'s updated.

For the second one If you don't train the team and just leave them they show the same star level as when they left.

So I understand the team page basically shows their star rating last time they were trained. Ok.

And I understand the top 100 Big league page is done by winning percentage, but why would I not appear on the top 100 5* page

You do not appear on the top 100 on the five star because it is NOT based on winning percentage. It is based on actual skill of your team. The star rating your team is given is the average star rating of the players who are currently in your lineup. Each individual player has a star rating based on the ratings of each individual skill averaged out.

Given this, stick with me on the math. You have 9 starting players. Each of them have a certain number rating them in each skill. I don't remember how many total skills they look at, but it averages to a number. THEN, the average of the starting players becomes your star rating for your team. Now, that means you can have a bunch of really good guys and some really crappy ones making you this 5 star. I think you are a five star team when you star average for players is from 4.6 to 5.5. SO, if you are a 4.6 team with a 5 star rating on your home page you will not be as good as a team with a 5.5 average and a 5 star rating on their homepage.

Got it?

For the second question, yes, the server only updates when it has been accessed by the individual team through the training. That is why some 10 star teams say very very very long ago and when you play them you see a drop in your honor rating.

For a better discription of the honor rating, search it.

Okay, back to hiding for me...
