What is Association league about?

Our Association are currently having a good spell, won all our matches for last two seasons and are back to Platinum from Gold Division 2 to Gold 1 (currently).
There was a message to say our league is in top ten leagues of our division and we will get a bonus.
thought great, lets see exactly where we are.:

Clicked on Associations (cup symbol) and there we are in 5th place. I thought yeah hoorah....(by the way we have 1405 points with this seasons win still to go on.That means we are in platinum div next season.)

Then I thought who is in 1st place......
A Team (Salam Satu Jiwaarema) with 1482 who are in GOLD DIVISION 3 .......?????
How the Hell (pardon my English) can they possibly have that score? That means they leap frog from Gold div 3 straight to Platinum!
Plus the teams have only just started and played 7 games! (although profile says they have given 253 bonuses..?)
Something is not right in the state of Denmark! I smell a rat.
What is this about please can anyone explain?

For it seems to make a mockery of what everyone else is doing.
Is this another example of cheating? or of Nordeus ****ing it up / complete nonsense / futility of competing?
