 PSA
Ranking Policy
General
Players competing in PSA 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 (ie.
the lowest are not included) according to the Averaging Formula below.
For example, a player who has competed in 13 events will have selected
his best 10 scores, which will be accumulated and divided by 10. |

Zero Scores
A zero score is automatically given for the following :
LATE WITHDRAWAL; NO-SHOW; DISCIPLINARY
MATTERS
For recording purposes on the ranking computer a disciplinary Zero score is
recorded as a 99. This 99 will stay on player's records as an event played
and count towards the ranking average for the following 12 months. If a
player fails to play a tournament through sickness or injury he must supply
a medical certificate. Once that medical certificate is received by the PSA
office a 99 may be recorded as a 98. A 98 is included as one of the player's
lowest scores, for the calculation of ranking, until a player has played 9
events.
Ranking Points
The PSA ranking system is based on dollars earned.
a) Satellite/International/Super
Series
i) Main Draw:

tournament, divide his player compensation (prize money plus hotel bonus) by
