Rankings

Federation rankings are configured per tenant — each defines its own point scale per (level × placement × participants), ranking coefficient/multiplier per level, max competitions counted per year, and which dimensions split the lists (Sweden keeps separate lists for Ös, Ds, V55s and so on; France blends differently; Germany weights by category). Tournament-category multipliers translate the level into a coefficient (Germany's A/B/C/D = 4/3/2/1, France's per-level coefficients, Sweden's participant-count-driven scale). Validity is configurable too: Sweden's points expire after 12 months from competition date, France after 24, Germany over 36 months with weighted decay (3×current year + 2×previous + 1×two years ago).

National, continental, and world (FIPJP) rankings all run on the same engine with different scopes. A player can appear on multiple lists at once because rankings are emitted per dimension (class, format, or combined). Publication and notifications fire when each weekly or monthly recompute completes, so players see their movement immediately.

Ranking-based qualification thresholds gate entry into higher events (top 32 nationally enter continental qualifying), and club/team rankings aggregate member performance. Public ranking search and filtering let any visitor look up a player or browse a class. Running in parallel is a global ELO (PL-F0407c) that updates on every match — official or casual — independent of format, with K-factor scaled higher for new players and lower for established ones.

ELO is held separately per format (singles, doubles, triples) so a triplette specialist's tête-à-tête rating doesn't drag from inactivity, and a partnership ELO captures the combined strength of regular pairs. The win/loss margin influences ELO change so a 13–0 moves more than a 13–11. ELO history charts show progression, ELO-based matchmaking suggests balanced pairings for casual play, and dual ranking display puts Federation Points and Global ELO side by side on every player profile.
