UPDATE:
In 2024 TTNZ tested a new ranking system designed with the future in mind.
The system operated in parallel with the previous rating system, and is modelled after the highly successful ITTF ranking system.
THE TTNZ RANKING SYSTEM AND ITS' REGULATIONS HAVE BEEN ADOPTED AS FROM THE 18TH FEB 2025. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THE TTNZ RATING SYSTEM WILL CEASE TO EXIST.
General statement:
TTNZ has adopted a new ranking system designed with the future in mind. This system is modelled after the highly successful ITTF ranking system. More information regarding the new system can be found in the regulations document.
Overview:
Players will earn points by progressing through tournaments, which scale up in value from Association closed tournaments to regional tournaments to National Tournaments. TTNZ has approximately 50 tournaments on the 2025 calendar. The top seven results from the prior 12 months will go towards each player's current ranking and will therefore expire on a 12-month rolling basis.
The system will be easier to follow, as points are like building blocks rather than a complex calculation. Players will battle for points to climb the Men’s or Women’s Ranking lists, with Merit lists (top ten) for age categories being released periodically. In addition, TTNZ aims to launch a Para ranking list in 2025 for the first time.
Rationale for the new system:
➢ A system to encourage and promote greater player participation.
➢ Players are rewarded based on participation and results.
➢ Participation and results take precedence over history of the player.
➢ Rolling 12-months of performance.
➢ No loss of points for defeats.
➢ Simplified system. Easier for players to know how many points they will receive, based on their placing in a tournament.
