Rankings & Gradings

Player rankings

The ranking system illustrates the relative standards of our players.

National Rankings

Ghana Badminton operates a national ranking and rating system, which includes singles results from domestic ranking events and some international matches. These represent the final rankings for the 2023/24 season.

  • The ranking/ rating year runs from 1 August to 31 July. It has separate quarterly lists for men and women in Sub-Junior (U15), Junior (U19), Senior (open age) and Veteran (O35) age-groups.
  • The lists are each published in two formats – ‘rankings’ are Ghanaian-eligible or resident players competing in Ghana Badminton competitions.
  • Additionally, ‘filtered’ lists are available for sub-categories in the four main age-groups, eg U13, U17 or U21. The Ghana Badminton ranking system is a relative ‘head-to-head’ system with weightings for different tiers of events, and bonus points for higher-placed finishes in tournaments.
  • The rankings system is refreshed each season, as players progress in age eligibility or become inactive. The opening season rankings for the current season can be seen at the bottom of this page.
  • The BWF override is denoted in live lists by an asterisk (*). This is the mechanism by which players who appear in international rankings are shown in the same order in domestic rankings lists

Individual players who have taken part in a ranking tournament in the current season can see an Audit Trail of their results, and also the affect their results have had on their ranking/ rating. Athletes indicated by an asterisk are fixed at the top of our rankings by virtue of their position in the BWF Rankings. This is regardless of whether or not they have appeared in any domestic events.

The dates for each ranking run, and the relevant selection/ invitation/ seeding dates for National events can be found by clicking the above. In the eventuality that we re-publish the ranking list, we will use the updated list for invitations to National events. No one is deemed to have qualified for an event until they have received an official notification.
