Rankings are calculated from points collected when competing in events that have been tagged for ranking status. For example, an event tagged for ‘Adult Open’ may contain competitors from age groups other than Adult (i.e. Youth or Masters), and these competitors will therefore gain a position within the Adult rankings.
A further ranking allocation is given to couples competing outside their age group. For example, a Masters 3 couple competing in a Masters 1 Open event will be allocated points in the Masters 3 age group.
All rankings are calculated over a one-year period. This is generated automatically by the ranking code after the results from a competition are added to the database.
The points awarded to a couple are based on the number of couples they beat. If you are first and there are 10 couples in your event, you receive 10 ranking points.
Formula: (total in event − your place) + 1
Note: points are awarded to the couple only. Points cannot be redirected to a new partnership.
