The new ranking system will take effect on 1 July 2025. This is based on feedback from members prior to and following presentations at the 2024 WWR Conference in Prague, there was consensus and agreement to revise the World Ranking System which has been developed and approved by the Competition Working Group. This was implemented from the 1st of July 2025.
Below is a table showing the ranking points based on the new system taking effect 1 July 2025. The previous system points are also shown to demonstrate the change in ranking for some teams as a result of the new calculations.
There are a few small changes in ranking positions for teams ranked 16-19.
The major changes are related to teams ranked 4-7. This is due to the increase in points under the new system for teams that place 2nd – 4th at an event. Great Britain had several placings between 2nd and 4th so their new system points total has increased This is also reflective of their most recent performance at Paris 2024.
A small spreadsheet has been created to assist with calculating event weightings and possible points earnt from an event. This is available for download off the WWR website under Competition Resources.
The overall new points calculation at 1 July 2025 is shown below and includes all events contributing to the calculation. These are based on the new points for teams placing at an event, the new weighting for events and the new annual adjustment.
