VILLOWO WORLD RANKING SYSTEM (VWRS) – POINTS RECORDING AND QUARTERLY RANKING PUBLICATION REGULATIONS

1. Eligible Championships for Ranking Points

Ranking points under the Villowo World Ranking System (VWRS) shall be awarded exclusively for performances achieved at Villowo International-sanctioned District, State, National and World Championships. Results from non-sanctioned tournaments, friendly matches, club competitions and other events shall not be considered for the official VWRS rankings.

2. Recording and Verification of Points

Points shall be recorded based on the official results of eligible Villowo International-sanctioned Championships. The results submitted by authorised event organisers shall be verified and processed by the designated VWRS Committee before the points are included in the official ranking records.

3. Quarterly Publication of World Rankings

The official Villowo World Rankings shall be published on the last day of every calendar quarter, namely:

• First Quarter: 31 March
• Second Quarter: 30 June
• Third Quarter: 30 September
• Fourth Quarter: 31 December

4. Validity of Published Rankings

Each published VWRS ranking shall remain official and valid throughout the entire subsequent calendar quarter until the next scheduled ranking publication. The published rankings shall serve as the official reference for determining players’ ranking positions during that period.

5. Quarterly Ranking Updates

Any changes to a player's ranking position arising from newly recorded championship results shall be reflected only in the next quarterly publication. Rankings shall not be revised on a day-to-day or event-by-event basis during the validity period of a published ranking, except where an administrative correction is necessary to rectify a verified error.

6. Cut-Off Date for Results

For inclusion in a quarterly ranking publication, championship results must be officially submitted, verified and processed by the VWRS Committee before the applicable quarterly cut-off. Results received or verified after the cut-off shall normally be considered for the following quarterly publication.

7. Official Ranking Records

The VWRS Committee shall maintain the official records of championship results, points awarded, player positions and published rankings. The rankings published through the official Villowo International or VWRS communication channels shall be recognised as the authoritative ranking records for the relevant quarter.

8. Transparency and Consistency

The quarterly publication system is intended to ensure consistency, transparency and administrative accuracy in maintaining the world rankings of Villowo players. It provides players, organisers and National Governing Bodies with a fixed ranking reference for each quarter.
