The new Ranking System

The new system for 2009 CWWC International and National Rankings
Cable Wakeboard World Council (CWWC) considered the new ranking system through 2008 and with a valuable feedback from riders, officials and media partners created and announced the new ranking system for 2009.
The objective was to improve the system in order to award the truly best riders across categories and to have the results published quickly to provide riders with immediate access to their ranking places for sponsors, federations and so on.
The details of the system of awarding points, competition types and ranking rules are described in detail in CWWC Rulebook 2009 (link).
HOW IT WAS IN 2008
Riders were ranked only in their age category, even if they started in higher categories at some competitions
World Rankings 2008 included World Championships and National Championships only
Regional Rankings 2008 included all international competitions, national championships and the EAME Championships (competition types A-D from the rulebook), with a restriction of a maximum of points in one type of competition, up to the maximum points in the next higher type of competition
National Rankings 2008 included all international competitions, national championships, EAME Championships, national tours and other national registered events (competition types A-F from the rulebook), with a restriction of a maximum of points in one type of competition, up to the maximum points in the next higher type of competition.
CWWC RANKINGS 2009
Riders will be ranked in all age categories where they earned points, with results from the respective and all higher categories.
Example 1: a Girl wins the international comp in the Open category and wins 500 points in Open ladies, Junior ladies and Girls. If she wins the Nationals in Junior ladies, she gets 400 points in Junior ladies and Girls. If she wins the Confederation champs in Girls, she gets 800 points in Girls. So her theoretical sum for all these results added up is 500 in Open ladies, 900 in Junior ladies and 1700 in Girls
Example 2: a Veteran wins the international comp in the Open category and wins 500 points in Open men, Master men and Veteran men. If he wins the Nationals in Master men, he gets 400 points in Master men and Veteran men. If he wins the Confederation champs in Veteran men, he gets 800 points in Veteran men. So his theoretical sum for all these results added up is 500 in Open men, 900 in Master men and 1700 in Veteran men
CWWC Rankings 2009 (World rankings) include all international competitions, national championships, Confederation Championships (competition types A-D from the rulebook), with 6 best results for every rider in every age category
Regional Rankings 2009 – there are no more regional rankings. Only one international ranking list – CWWC World Rankings
National Rankings 2009 include all international competitions, national championships, Confederation Championships, national tours and other national registered events (competition types A-F from the rulebook), with 6 best results for every rider in every age category
World Championships are held only in even years, so next time in 2010. They will be included in both CWWC and National rankings 2010 (that's competition type A:)
