      Jon-Roar,

      Match points for each match are accumulated per 1 year time frame and divided by the number of matches played in that time frame. This is done for the past 4 years. The averages per time frame are weighted and accumulated.

      Norway played 38 matches the last 4 years which count for the FIFA ranking, same for June and May.

      Some older matches shift to the next time frame, resulting in different time frame averages and thus in a different FIFA points total.
      This phenomenon is called 'devaluation of results' and that's what Edgar referred to in his post about the probable June ranking.
