European Ranking Format
From 2025 onwards the EDF will have 7 rankings.
Those are:
- Cloth – Men
- Cloth – Women
- Cloth – Mixed
- Foam – Men
- Foam – Women
- Foam – Mixed
- Overall European Ranking
The individual rankings are the base for all seedings in EDF-tournaments.
The Overall Ranking is an accumulation of all points gathered in the 6 individual rankings.
The following describes how the ranking of nations functions within the individual ranking tables:
- 1st place in the European Championship earns a team 20 Ranking Points. Each place thereafter earns points decreasing by 1 Ranking Point per position (i.e. 2nd Place – 19 points; 3rd Place – 18 points; etc.).
- Teams who do not compete in a tournament receive 0 Ranking Points.
- A team will receive a 100% of the points for the most recent European Championship Tournament.
- A team will receive a 75% of the points for the 2nd most recent European Championship Tournament.
- A team will receive a 25% of the points for the 3rd most recent European Championship Tournament.
- In the case of a points tie between two nations in the ranking table, they will both be allocated the same position (eg: both will be counted as 5th place) within the table; however, for seeding purposes in tournaments, the team with the higher result in the most recent tournament will take the higher seed.
Only Full Members will be shown in the rankings.
Provisional Members are not qualified.
Only results in the European Championships will be considered for the rankings.
Regional and Youth tournaments will not yet be reflected in the EDF European Ranking System.
