Ranking for Men's & Women's Team This ranking is based on the Ranking points of the 3 (or 2) highest ranked players (or pairs) of each Association, ranked on the current individual World Ranking lists. Even if an Association has only two or one player (or pair) ranked on the individual World Ranking list, the team of that Association is still ranked. Players non eligible to represent their Association are not taken into consideration. To set up the team ranking list, each team is opposed to all the other teams in a computer simulation (round-robin), in 3 singles matches and 2 doubles matches using the Thomas and Uber Cups system. In each team the players (pairs) are placed in ranking order. 2 points are awarded to the winning team of each of these matches, the losing team getting 0 points. When there is a tie, which may happen when players of opposing teams have the same Ranking, each of these teams receives 1 point. The final ranking order is determined by the total number of points earned by each of the teams. A virtual match won would give the team 2 points, a tie would give 1 point and a loss does not earn the team any points. The total number of points gained by a team determines their Team Ranking. These team ranking lists are taken into consideration for seedings at World Men's and Women's Team Championships. Ranking for Mixed Team This ranking is based on the Ranking points of the highest ranked player (or pair) of five individual events of each Association, ranked on the current individual World Ranking lists. Even if an Association has only one player (or pair) ranked on the individual World Ranking list, the team of that Association is still ranked. Players non eligible to represent their Association are not taken into consideration. To set up the team ranking list, each team is opposed to all the other teams in a computer simulation (round-robin), in men's and wommen's singles matches and men's, women's and mixed doubles matches using the Sudirman Cup system. 2 points are awarded to the winning team of each of these matches, the losing team getting 0 points. When there is a tie, which may happen when players of opposing teams have the same Ranking, each of these teams receives 1 point. The final ranking order is determined by the total number of points earned by each of the teams. A virtual match won would give the team 2 points, a tie would give 1 point and a loss does not earn the team any points. The total number of points gained by a team determines their Team Ranking. These team ranking lists are taken into consideration for seedings at World Mixed Team Championships.
Indonesia's status... #2 in the Mixed Team category is a fact! As proven 2 weeks ago. We were number 2 in the Sudirman Cup... [yet again] just like in 2005. So we have tons of facts to prove we're #2 in Mixed Team. In the Men's category... er... yeah #4 is pretty fair... we continuosly qualify for the semifinals of the Thomas Cup. We can prove our worth then... As for the Women's category... er... yeah #8 is also pretty fair... We can't even qualify for the 2006 Uber Cup. So I can't say [with evidence] where we should stand...
cxytdn, where did you get all these data? BWF or did you create them yourself? If BWF, where can we find it?
Obviously, he/she creates the list as it has always been in the past few years However, I don't think the ranking matters at all
This list is useles..how come HK women is ranked below sweden/Thai or germany or singapore......even samoa or fiji are better than Hungary/romania/lithuinia???? this is a joke!!! Administrator should delete this thread.....
Why shouldn't HK women be lower than Sweden / Thai / Germany / Singapore? That's just the way the ranking system works. I admit that HK (with Zhou Mi) is arguably the second best women team in the world now, but all players have to earn points to achieve good rankings. If the Uber Cup is to be held now, it is only right that HK should be seeded below the other teams (just as Zhou Mi has to fight through qualifying rounds to gain admittance to main draws). Think Williams sisters (and USA) in the Federation Cup. Having big name players shouldn't give you an automatic favourable draw / ranking. I actually think this is a far more interesting post then others. He / She has obviously put in the effort to collate all the data and should be commended for it well done, cxytdn!
