Ranking Guidelines

• Ranking points are the sum of a player’s/pair’s top four results in any discipline (with the same partner, where applicable) over a 52-week period.
• Ontario Ranking publications will be updated and published weekly on Tournament Software.
• Players/pairs are awarded ranking points based on where they finish in a draw.
• The amount of points awarded are dependent on each tournament series (i.e. national events award more points than provincial events).
• Each player/pair must win at least one match in a draw to gain points. Walkovers do not count as a win for ranking points. 
• Players entering into the consolation draw will be awarded half the ranking points earned in the main draw. 
• Players competing in a Round Robin draw will be awarded 75% of the ranking points earned in the main draw.
• At the start of a season, players who remain in the same age category will maintain their existing ranking points for the first tournament.
• At the start of the season, players moving up into a new age category will carry forward 50% of their existing ranking points for the first tournament.
• If a player obtains points in multiple age categories, the Tournament Director will use the most up-to-date points for the age category in which the player has registered for that particular tournament.
