Rankings Summary:
A skater or team’s ranking is determined by the number of points accumulated during the current season and the two previous seasons.

---

The system is weighted so that recent finishes count more than older ones. Skaters receive 100 percent credit from results from the current season; point totals from the previous season are factored by .7, and results from two seasons ago are multiplied by .3. The rankings work on an approximate rolling, 104-week calendar. By "approximate," it means that competitions in the 2012-13 season will be matched up with corresponding competitions in the 2010-11 season to determine when the points from the latter will be eliminated from all skaters' records.

For example, once the first Junior Grand Prix event is competed in the fall of 2012, for those skaters who have the first JGP event of 2010 on their records, the points for that event will be eliminated regardless of whether that skater has competed in the current season. With the Grand Prix Series events being in a different order in 2012 than they were in 2010, each 2012 Grand Prix event will match up with a corresponding 2010 event. For example, since the NHK Trophy was the first Grand Prix event competed in 2010 and Skate America is the first Grand Prix event competed in 2012, all points from the 2010 NHK Trophy will eliminated upon the completion of 2012 Skate America.

The eligible competitions for which the skater/team earned the 10 highest point totals in the approximate 104-week time period will count toward that skater/team's total score. Any competition that appears on the ISU calendar is an eligible competition. National championships and national junior championships are eligible competitions as well.

To be included in the icenetwork.com World Figure Skater Rankings, skaters must be active and have maintained their ISU eligibility. Retired skaters or skaters who are not eligible to compete in ISU competitions may not appear in the rankings.

If a skater competes in his or her junior and senior national championships in the same season, the senior-level result will take precedence over the junior-level result, regardless of which point total is greater. If a skater has competed in three Grand Prix Series events in one season, only the two highest point totals will be counted. If a skater or team has competed at both the world junior championships and the world championships, the point total from the latter will take precedence over that from the former. If a skater has competed in both the Grand Prix Series and Junior Grand Prix Series, the rules are as follows:

• If the number of Junior Grand Prix Series events in which a skater or team has competed is equal to or less than the number of Grand Prix Series events in which a skater or team has competed, only the Grand Prix Series events will count toward that skater's or team's point total.

• If the number of Junior Grand Prix Series events in which a skater or team has competed is greater than the number of Grand Prix Series events in which a skater or team has competed (2 JGPs, 1 GP), the point total from the Grand Prix Series event as well as the JGP event in which the skater or team scored more points will count toward that skater's or team's point total, with the point total from the second JGP event being dropped. If the skater or team received the same amount of points for both JGPs, the one occurring earlier in the season will be dropped.

Let’s take the case of Chinese pairs team Wenjing Sui and Cong Han:

2012 World Championships	225
2012 World Junior Championships	475
2012 Four Continents	900
2011 Junior Grand Prix Final	375
2011 Cup of China	187.2
2011 Skate Canada	432
2011 JGP Austria	175
2012 Nationals	120
2011 JGP Latvia	190
2011-12 Total	2119.2
2011-12 Factored Total	1483.44
2011 World Juniors	475
2011 Asian Winter Games	120
2011 Nationals	275
2010 Grand Prix Final	400
2010 Skate America	288
2010 Cup of China	432
2010 JGP Germany	200
2010 JGP Austria	90
2010-11 Total	1870
2010-11 Factored Total	561
Total Points	2044.44

Because Sui and Han competed in two JGP events and two Grand Prix events in both 2010-11 and 2011-12, their JGP point totals are dropped. They also competed at both the 2012 World Junior Championships and the 2012 World Championships, so the point total for the former is dropped. (Additionally, their points from the 2012 Chinese Championships and the 2011 Asian Winter Games get dropped because they are not among their 10 highest point totals in the last two seasons.) Their point total for 2010-11 is 1870. Factor that by .3, and you get 561 points. Their total for 2011-12 is 2119.2. Factor by .7, and you get 1483.44 points. Add that to their 2010-11 total, and you get 2044.44 points.
