can someone check, cos I'm a little confused looking at the current ranking... LCW only up 1800 pts? is that all for winner in AE? even KO SSP gave more than that.... confuse, confuse
Lee Chong Wei was the winner of the All-England last year. Therefore, as the winner again, he should retain the same amount of ranking points. However, since it has been upgrading to SSP, the rankings points for the winner has increased, thus he gains 1800 more.

I really dunno how they calculate the ranking points *shrug*... but I check week by week historical point and I figure after MO and korea, the increase in points are more than AE... which left me dumbfounded a bit LCW's ranking: 2011 11 90996.8578 2011 10 89196.8578 2011 9 89196.8578 2011 8 89196.8578 2011 7 89196.8578 2011 6 89196.8578 2011 5 89196.8578 2011 4 86446.8578 2011 3 86446.8578 2011 2 89046.8578 2011 1 84646.8578 From my understanding, week one is after SSF. Then he won MO it went up to 89046 (89046-84646=4400 points). Why the drop to 86k, I have no idea... then KO he got 2nd place, so my guess it jumped to 89196. but he won AE, points only up to 90996 which is only 1800 pts difference... undeadshot, I don't understand "retain the same amount of ranking point" cos his ranking isn't changed after the defeat in KO. do you mean if they win the same tourney back to back, then only get 1800? and if they lost the second one, then no ranking points? sorry, I'm getting a little short in my head recently...
only the top 10 most scored t'ment points within a year count toward the ranking. is that a bit clear?
clear boss... but I still got some other wondering thoughts (the 'why's keep popping in.... *sigh*) which I'm gonna just ignore ... thanks for the help. ^_^
thanks limsy but I think it's gonna take a while for me to study these figures going up and down... now I understand what undeadshot means by retained points since I can find the pattern but the reduction in week 3, I dunno why... shouldn't he retained the 89046 figure instead? oh, forget it... so long as he's still in the lead
. OK, the 3 lines below could answer your question; (1) The ranking points are summed up from all tournaments played in the last 52 weeks (2) If many tournaments were played, the best points from the best 10 tournaments played shall be summed up (3) Previous ranking points earned more than 52 weeks ago will be dropped off Therefore, when LCW won the 2011 All England he would get his 2011 points. But his 2010 points earned from the 2010 All England would be dropped off, because of (3). I hope I have answered your question. .
Ahhhh, with point (3) explained, now it makes more sense... ok I get it. Thanks chris! p/s: sorry guys, I'm a little ignorant on how the ranking system works..
