All-Time Rankings Methodology

Overview

All-time rankings are calculated using a weighted points system that awards points for podium finishes (top 3) across major competitions. Points are accumulated over an athlete’s entire career, with different weights for different event types.

Points System

Points are only awarded for top 3 finishes. No points are given for 4th place or below.

Base Point Values

Current Season Handling

During an active season, current season standings are excluded from the rankings. This prevents incomplete season data from affecting career totals. Once the season ends, standings are included.
