GB Senior Ranking Competition Information
GB Senior Ranking System
The British Senior Ranking system operates in line with the IJF Competition format. Ranking points are given for Area and Home Country Open Championships, the British Open and International Championships. The top eight placings at each event are awarded points (as long as at least one contest is won) and the top three results contribute to placing on the British Ranking List.
After 31st October each year, the top sixteen ranked players from British Ranking List are invited to the British Championships, with Wild Cards assigned, where appropriate, by Performance Directorate.
The Ranking List is used to identify the GB Senior Squad each year.
