PSA ranking policy
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 weekly rankings (issued on each Monday) are used in selecting entries to tournaments and in determining the seeds. The total number of points a player has earned in the previous 52 weeks is divided by the number of tournaments played (a minimum divisor of ten is used) to give a ranking average. Where a player has played more than 11 tournaments the best scores are selected (i.e. the lowest are not included) according to the averaging formula (see table below). For example, a player who has competed in 16 events will have his best 12 scores used. These will be accumulated and divided by 12. Players competing in PSA 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.Divisor
A divisor is selected based on the number of tournaments played during the year as shown in the table below (the minimum divisor is eleven). The average is calculated from the highest points scored for this number of events over the past 52 weeks:Current world ranking
