The Women's Professional Billiard Association, in its continuing efforts to promote our sport and generate increased interest, is announcing a new rolling ranking system beginning in 2010. After the first event of next season, rankings will be determined by using the results from the previous 6 events on a sliding percentage scale. In addition, the point allocations are changing. Point's values and sliding scale details are as follows:
NEW RANKING POINTS
Finish Points w/ one loss
1 20,000 19,000
2 15,000 14,000
3-4 12,000 11,000
5-8 10,000 9,000
9-16 8,000 7,000
17-24 5,000
25-32 3,000
33-48 2,000
49-64 500
Minimum number of total events in the season (10) before we award 1 1/2 points for majors
Rankings & Seeding will be determined based on the previous 6 events points using a reduced sliding percentage scale as follows:
Most recent event points awarded at 100%
Second most recent event points awarded at 90%
Third most recent at 80%
Fourth at 70%
Fifth at 60%
Sixth at 50%
Our voting player membership's input and suggestions were critical to establishing this new system and we believe the balance between having the 6 previous events points plus the sliding percentage scale should more accurately reflect who the top-most consistent players are while allowing all players an equal opportunity to rise in the rankings.
