Explanation


The English Indoor Bowling Association launched a National Ranking list on 29th September 2000.

The Ranking list is based on a player’s performance in the Associations Championship events (Singles, Pairs, Triples, Fours and the Champion of Champions), the BIIBC Championships, and International apearances.
The championships for which points are awarded are open to every member of a club affiliated to the Association on an equal basis each year.
The ranking takes into account a players performance over a five year period (Junior International appearances over the last two years only), this being the length of time over which selectors would judge a players performance. Most recent performances will merit higher points than those of previous years and the system calculations takes this into account.

Calculation of a Players Ranking

Each player qualifying for the final stages of the National Championships (Singles, Pairs, Triples & Fours) will be awarded ONE POINT on reaching this stage (Last 32) and ONE EXTRA POINT for each subsequent game won, a potential of six points for each event.
In the Champion of Champions, ONE POINT will be awarded for reaching the finals stages (Last 16) and ONE EXTRA POINT for each game won, a potential of five points.
In addition, each player will earn ONE POINT on reaching the final of the British Isles Indoor Bowls Council Championships in each event and ONE EXTRA POINT for winning a BIIBC title. (excluding the U25 Championships)

Points are calculated on the following basis: -

  Championship Events Senior International
Appearances		 Junior International Appearances
Latest year  100% 3 points
(one for each game played)		 1.5 points
Previous year  85% 2 points 1 point
Two years previous 65% 1.5 points  
Three years previous 40% 1 point  
Four years previous 15% 0.5 points  

The Resultant Totals for each player are then multiplied by a factor of 10.

It is anticipated that the existence of an English Ranking List will generate interest both amongst players and within the press. 

The Ranking list will be updated annually at the end of the Indoor Season (May) and published at the start of the next Season (i.e. October).
