How NPF rankings are calculated

Points are awarded based on a tournament’s category and how far a player advances. The larger the tournament, the higher the point yield.

• Tournament rule

  To be ranked at all, you must participate and win points in an NPF-ranked tournament (prior to launch, all tournaments for all clubs are considered).

• Category rule

  The category number (e.g., P250) represents the points awarded to the winner.

• Quality over quantity

  Reaching a P250 semi-final (90 pts) is more valuable than winning an entire P50 tournament (50 pts).

• Minimum threshold

  Players must progress past the Group Stage to the Round of 16 to earn any points.

Every time the rankings are refreshed, the system follows a four-step process:

1. 01

   Filter eligible events

   Only tournaments marked as Completed are included. Men's and Women's rankings are calculated independently.

2. 02

   Aggregate totals

   The system identifies every player's finishing position across all eligible tournaments and sums the corresponding points.

3. 03

   Sort standings

   Players are ordered from highest total points to lowest to determine their seed (e.g., #1, #2).

4. 04

   Update indicators

   The new ranks are published. The system compares these to previous ranks to generate the + / – movement indicators.

• Automated

  Rankings update instantly in the background whenever a tournament is completed or results are edited.

• Manual

  Admins can trigger a full recompute at any time, which can be scoped to specific date ranges or seasons.

• Manual corrections

  Admins may adjust an individual’s rank or specific tournament points (e.g., in cases of disqualification or walkovers). These corrections are preserved during future recomputes.
