The World Rankings are determined according to each competitor's best Ranking Raw Score, which is calculated based on the current Millennium Standards and are subject to change.
Similar to a Decathalon, the maximum score is 10,000 points and the formula used to calculate the world rankings changes as records are broken and new standards are set.
For Example: a Score of 1000 digits in the 30 Minute Random Number event, earned 833 points prior to the July 2012 Review and now earns 704 points.
Note: each time a championship is included/uploaded, the world rankings are adjusted.
Note as at January 2013:
1) All past kids and junior events who had special rules are to be excluded from the Adult World Rankings, but included in Kids and Juniors rankings and record tables. (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.)
