Reference

TRIBE Ranking point table is modified based on the BWF Statutes - Section 5.3.3.1. World Ranking System

Participated in 6 or fewer tournaments a year

If a player or pair has competed in the same Event at 6 or fewer tournaments, then the ranking is worked out by adding the points won at the tournaments in that year.

Participated in 7 or fewer tournaments a year

If a player or pair has competed in the same Event at 7 or more tournaments, only the 6 highest points scored in the tournaments in that year count towards their ranking

"Average ranking point" reference

The average point system is determined by dividing the total points earned by player by the number of tournaments played (Points/Tournament).
This method may enhance the clarity and transparency of player performance, providing a more reliable basis for the Referee team in the seeding process.

Important note: The average points shall not determine the overall player's ranking.

Which point to determine? Actual Ranking or Average Ranking? Both the Actual Ranking and Average Ranking serve as tools for the organizer/referee team to achieve a well-balanced draw.

Ideally, the tournament organizer/referee team should always refer to the "Overall Ranking Point."

However, in situations where the "Overall Ranking Point" is deemed insufficient in providing a clear picture of a player's performance (e.g., if it includes fewer tournaments), it is at the discretion of the tournament organizer/referee team to consider the "Average Ranking Point" provides greater accuracy in terms of performance, thereby taking precedence over the "Overall Ranking Point" in the seeding process.

Example scenario

Tournament Counts in Player's Ranking	Ranking Points
1	Average
2	Average
3	Average
4	Overall / Average
5	Overall
6 or above	Overall

Conditions for the tournament

Category	Boy's Singles	Boy's Doubles	Girl's Singles	Girl's Doubles
Under 8, 9, 10 and 11
Under 12
Under 13
Under 14
Under 15
Under 16

Age eligibility

The age of eligibility will be determined by the year the player is born. For example:

"Players must be born in 2015 or later to be eligible to participate in Under 9 categories, in year 2024 tournament."

Entries

The main competition must include Boy's Singles, Girl's Singles, Boy's Doubles, and Girl's Doubles. However, the TRIBE reserves the right to accept Tournaments that do not comply with this requirement.

The number of entries in each Event draw in the main competition must be at least:

Boys Singles: 8 players
Girls Singles: 8 players
Boys Doubles: 8 players
Girls Doubles: 8 players

In TRIBE Rankings if the minimum number of entries is not met in an Event, the ranking point of that Event will be deducted by 50%. If this happens the TRIBE also reserves the right not to include that Event in the Ranking.

Example: In a level 3 tournament

Event	Entries	Champion Point	Runners Up Point
Boy's Single	16	800	645
Boy's Doubles	14	800	645
Girl's Single	16	800	645
Girl's Doubles	6	400	323
