Rankings Summary:
A skater or team’s ranking is determined by the number of points accumulated during the current season and the two previous seasons.
The system is weighted so that recent finishes count more than older ones. Skaters receive 100 percent credit from results from the current season; point totals from the previous season are factored by .7, and results from two seasons ago are multiplied by .3. The rankings work on an approximate rolling, 104-week calendar. By "approximate," it means that competitions in the 2010-11 season will be matched up with corresponding competitions in the 2008-09 season to determine when the points from the latter will be eliminated from all skaters' records. For example, once the first Junior Grand Prix event is competed in the fall of 2010, for those skaters who have the first JGP event of 2008 on their records, the points for that event will be eliminated regardless of whether that skater has competed in the current season. With the Grand Prix Series events being in a different order in 2010 than they were in 2008, each 2010 Grand Prix event will match up with a corresponding 2008 event. For example, since Skate America was the first Grand Prix event competed in 2008 and the NHK trophy is the first Grand Prix event competed in 2010, all points from 2008 Skate America will eliminated upon the completion of the 2010 NHK Trophy. The eligible competitions for which the skater/team earned the 10 highest point totals in the approximate 104-week time period will count toward that skater/team's total score. Any competition that appears on the ISU calendar is an eligible competition. National championships and national junior championships are eligible competitions as well. To be included in the icenetwork.com World Figure Skater Rankings, skaters must be active and have maintained their ISU eligibility. Retired skaters or skaters who are not eligible to compete in ISU competitions may not appear in the rankings. If a skater competes in his or her junior and senior national championships in the same season, the senior-level result will take precedence over the junior-level result, regardless of which point total is greater. If a skater or team competes at both the World Junior Championships and the World Championships, the point total from the latter will take precedence over that from the former. If a skater competes in both the Grand Prix Series and Junior Grand Prix Series, the rules are as follows: • If the number of Junior Grand Prix Series events in which a skater or team competes is equal to or less than the number of Grand Prix Series events in which a skater or team competes, only the Grand Prix Series events will count toward that skater's or team's point total. • If the number of Junior Grand Prix Series events in which a skater or team competes is greater than the number of Grand Prix Series events in which a skater or team competes (2 JGPs, 1 GP), the point total from the Grand Prix Series event as well as the JGP event in which the skater or team scored more points will count toward that skater's or team's point total, with the point total from the second JGP event being dropped. If the skater or team received the same amount of points for both JGPs, the one occurring earlier in the season will be dropped. Let’s take the case of Chinese pairs team Yue Zhang and Lei Wang:
Because Zhang and Wang competed in two JGP events and two Grand Prix events in 2008-09, the JGP point totals are dropped. They also competed at both the World Junior Championships and the World Championships, so the point total for the former is dropped. Their point total for 2008-09 is 684. Factor that by .3, and you get 205.2 points. Additionally, their points the 2010 Chinese Championships get dropped because it is not among their 10 highest point totals in the last two seasons. Their total for 2009-10 is 516. Factor by .7, and you get 361.2 points. Add that to their 2008-09 total, and you get 566.4 points.
