Ranking points are awarded in each tournament for final finishing position and performance in each event (weighted for finishing in the top three).
Additionally, 300 attendance points are awarded for taking part, however 600 points are awarded to those who miss out via the random draw and to those who qualified but couldn't attend due to unavoidable circumstances. Ten permanent points are awarded for attending a tournament, which never expire.
The current ranking score includes all of a competitor's points for the most recent summer and winter tournament, half of the points from one year ago, a quarter of the points from two years ago and all permanent attendance points. The total score is therefore a three year rolling average.
