About The Freestyle World Rankings

Freestyle ranking points are awarded for any tournament with four or more players. Points are awarded based on the final place of each team or player and the size of the tournament. A player's top 8 tournament results over the previous 24 months are used to determine his/her ranking. Players also earn bonus points for defeating players ranked in the top 200. See details below.

Below are brief explanations of the point scales used to create the rankings list.

To add your tournament to the Freestyle Rankings, send your results using contact information at the Freestyle Flying Disc website, or use the Shrednow contact form. To insure that all players get the points they are entitled to, please include results from each round of play and the first and last name of each player. Incomplete player names cannot be awarded ranking points.

Tournaments are categorized by importance and player turnout to determine the number of points. Most tournaments are considered Regular category events. Any Regular even with 20 or more entrants receives maximum points. Points are reduced if there are fewer than 20 entrants.

Pro events offer more ranking points than basic tournaments. Pro events include continental championships, national championships outside North America and Europe, plus select internationally- significant events. Currently, Paganello is the only Pro tournament which is not a national championship. One national championship event per country is allowed to be designated a Pro event.

The FPA Worlds offers the most points of any event. In fact, the FPA Worlds counts as two tournaments. Players can earn two separate Open Rankings point totals at the worlds, one for the Open Pairs division and one for the Open Co-op division.

For the Women's rankings, any event a woman competes in, no matter the division, counts toward the Women's Rankings. No bonus points (see below) are counted toward the Women's Rankings.



Point Priorities

Ranking points are awarded from 1st to 64th place. Points are awarded by division. The Open division receives points first, followed by other divisions. The following order is used:

Open (Open then Women)
Masters (Open then Women)
Amateur (Open then Women)
Juniors (Open, from oldest age group to youngest, followed by Girls)
Grandmasters (Open then Women)
Senior Grand Masters (Open then Women)
Legends (Open then Women)

Bonus Points

Whenever a player beats another player ranked in the current top 200, he/she receives Bonus Points in addition to Open Ranking Points. Bonus points are not awarded for the Women's Rankings list. Bonus Points are only awarded for players directly beaten. In other words, the player has to be in the same pool as the beaten player, and the beaten player has to be eliminated from contention. If more than one division at a tournament counts toward the Open Rankings, divide the Bonus Points by the number of divisions. The exception to this rule is the FPA Worlds open divisions. Full bonus points are counted for both divisions.
