Ten seasons of Czech Superleague floorball, measured through ELO. See how the balance of power has shifted over a decade.
ELO is a rating system that tracks the real strength of teams over time. At the start, every team begins with the same score. After each match, ratings are adjusted based on the result: if a strong team wins, it gains only a few points, but if an underdog pulls off an upset, it earns much more.
The system also considers key factors like home advantage, the importance of the match (playoffs count more), and even the goal difference — though extreme scorelines are capped so one game doesn’t decide everything.
What makes ELO unique is that it’s a zero-sum system: the number of points in the league never changes. What one team gains, the other loses. Over multiple seasons, this creates a dynamic ranking that reflects who is truly strongest — not just by wins and losses, but by the quality of every performance.
In our Czech Superleague rankings, we’ve tracked a full 11 years of history. That means you can follow how the balance of power has shifted, which teams rose, which fell, and how floorball has evolved in over a decade.
Traditional standings tell us who won the most games. But ELO goes further — it shows us who is actually strongest. That difference matters.
In short: ELO turns results into insight. It helps us understand momentum, strength shifts, and the evolution of the league in a way the standings never could.
The chart below shows how many rounds each team spent at the very top of the ELO ranking across the last eleven Superleague seasons. Every bar represents the total number of matchdays where a club held the #1 spot.
It quickly becomes clear who has shaped the modern era:
In other words: while the league has been competitive, true control has rested in the hands of just a few dynasties.
This chart shows the ELO rating development of every team across eleven Superleague seasons. Each line is a journey: moments of dominance, rebuilding years, or sudden breakthroughs.
Overall, the graph makes one thing clear: while the Czech Superleague has its dynasties, the balance of power is never static. Teams rise, fall, and reinvent themselves season after season.
The chart tracks ELO ratings of the five strongest Superleague teams across eleven seasons. It highlights the sustained dominance of Boleslav, with Tatran, Chodov and Vítkovice often close behind. Bohemians complete the top five, showing steady growth but rarely breaking into the very top tier.
Together, these lines illustrate how the league’s power balance has been shaped by a handful of clubs over the past decade.
Over eleven seasons, ELO power rankings reveal much more than just wins and losses — they show the rise and fall of dynasties, the moments when challengers broke through, and how the balance of Czech floorball has shifted over time. While a handful of clubs have defined the era, the data also highlights just how dynamic and unpredictable the league can be.
