World Ranking List and IJF Ranking Events
The Ranking:
• The total of ranking points for each player will amount to the sum of his/her five
highest point scores during each 12 month period:
- look back 12 months from today - five best results count 100%
- look back 13-24 months, from there - five best results count 50%
Additional Rules:
• If the athlete changes his/her nationality during the Olympic Qualification period, he/she
will loose all the points in WRL and will start the Olympic Games Qualification with 0 points.
• In case of equality of total points, the higher ranking will be decided by:
1. The highest sum of the current points from all World Championships.
2. The highest sum of the current points from all Grand Prix, Grand Slams and Masters
3. The highest current points from one single event, then, if needed, the second highest, and so on
4. If the competitors are still equal the decision will be taken by the IJF Executive
Committee in case of Olympic Qualification.
