(Decision for future kids events TBD) 2) Kids and Juniors who competed in an adult competition like the WMC, National, Regional or International are to be included in the Adult World Rankings. 3) Any event following the rules and procedures of the WMSC using one of the four official event types are rankable. The four event types are WMC Standard (compare WMC), International Standard (compare German Open and UK Open), National Standard (compare Friendly/Cambridge and Swedish Open) and Regional Standard (compare German regionals.) |

| The World Rankings have been revised based on the recent announcement from WMSC "The World Rankings will in future reflect only the results from competitions which are held to the common set of international standards laid down by the WMSC. The results of competitions which deviate from the World Standards, for example, by varying the timing, order, scoring or duration of the core disciplines, will be recognised in the National Ranking of that country only. This rule will apply to all competitions held in 2013 onwards. Any entries in the World Rankings from previously approved non-standard competitions will stand." | |
