WISPA Ranking Policy
Players competing in WISPA tournaments earn ranking points according to how far they get in the draw. The points available depend on the prize money and the draw size. The monthly rankings (issued on the 1st of the month) are used in selecting entries to tournaments and in determining the seeds.
The total number of points a player earns in a year (52 weeks) is divided by the number of tournaments played (a minimum of eight are required) to give a ranking average. Where a player has played more than 8 tournaments the best scores may be selected (i.e., the lowest are not included).
For example, a player who has competed in 13 events will have selected her best 10 scores, which will be accumulated and divided by 10.
Players competing in WISPA World Tour Events earn ranking points according to the prize money, classification of the event, and the final position in the draw the player reaches.
