Darts world rankings

Darts World Rankings is a system designed to determine a list of the best darts players in the world based on their performances in tournaments. However, in 1993, a group of former world champions and other high-profile players separated from the British Darts Organisation, meaning there are now two major governing bodies.

Each organization has its own players, and each has its own ranking system. The ranking systems are used to arrange tournament seedings, which are so arranged, that the number one player in the world will not face the number two player until the final of a tournament, providing they both reach that final.

WDF World Rankings

The rankings are based on a cumulative points system, calculated on a rolling one-year basis. When a tournament is played, the previous year's results are removed from the rankings and the new tournament scores are used. This list is used to determine seeds for some of the WDF Opens. The World Darts Federation ranking system is designed to provide a measure of the global activities of darts players in every WDF recognized darts event. It used to be very similar to the BDO system but was revised in January 2007 to include categories by country and by events, and the distribution of ranking points reflect the levels of prize money on offer and the numbers of entries in a tournament. Players gain points in six different levels of categorized events and prize money and at the end of the season the leading players receive monetary bonus rewards from the WDF.[2]

gollark: Grades let you distance, well, grades, from actual % results on stuff.
gollark: Of course, *that* means that how good you're considered depends on how well everyone else does. Although that probably would have been the case to some extent anyway.
gollark: I mean, "you got X % of the questions right" might not line up exactly with what your grade should be, and the difficulty of exams might vary from exam to exam.
gollark: Are percentages REALLY better, though?
gollark: They actually recently implemented number grades for GCSE.
