Latest ISSF Mens Prone World Ranking list
-
06-12-2012 12:43am#1I was asked to gather info and scores from my competitions in 2012 to submit to Sports council etc and was very happy to find I'd climbed 40 odd places in World Ranking!:D
Seems .22 events dont quite get the same exposure or recognition as some other events at home!

Top 20? Feck me lad, that's fantastic! Easily the best rifle rating we've ever had. I thought we had a rating or two in the top 50 in the past (I thought Rhona and Alan made it into the top 50s after Atlanta and Sydney respectively), but I'd have to check (I've got the records open here but it'll take a few minutes to format everything and I'm at work so bear with me...)
And yeah, we should see more coverage of the prone stuff, but nobody's writing the articles. Even the air coverage we get is just because I tend to write stuff about what I'm doing; you need to get some more loudmouths in prone and chain them to a keyboard

BTW, there are a *lot* of IRL rifle/pistol shooters in the top 100-ish on the rankings (I'll do up the table after work tonight); and since the rankings do require you to go to international matches (which aren't cheap), we're doing damn well given our circumstances. And FLOYDSTER's setting a damn high bar (ye bollix ) 0

Oh, and for those who are wondering how all this stuff works, here's how from the ISSF website:
There are tables for how many points go for each rank from 1st place down to 20th place; and there's a multiplier factor depending on the kind of event (eg the Olympics gets a higher multiplier than the world cups; and the points only last for so long (so you have to keep going to matches to keep your ranking up - and the time they last also varies according to matches - 2 years for olympic games or world championships, 1 year for everything else.The ISSF world ranking system is based on two key factors of the shooting performance. It includes beside the placing (rank) of the shooter also the result achieved by the shooters in the 15 Olympic shooting events at ISSF supervised championships and competitions.
The ISSF world rankings produce event rankings only. The event rankings evaluate the shooters competing in a single event and determine the world's best shooter in a specific event.
...
The rankings are determined by the performance score of the shooters. The higher the score, the higher the shooter is ranked. After each competition, the shooters obtain points for their performances. These performance points are awarded for the rank (category A) achieved and the result (category
achieved by the shooter. The performance score is achieved by combining the points of category A and the points of category B.
...
(points of category A + points of category
Points achieved in category A:
The points for the ranking depend on the final rank a shooter achieves in a certain competition. Points can only be achieved in a final competition for rank 1 to 20. The number of points available for each competition varies according to the level and significance of the competition. The competitions are categorized, and the points achieved vary in each category as follows:
The scoring table is on the ISSF page for anyone interested...OLYMPIC GAMES 1st place: 100 x 36 = 3600 points.
WORLD CUP FINAL 1st place: 100 x 12 = 1200 points.
...
Points achieved in category B:
The points for the result achieved are calculated for a particular score depending on its relation to the current, valid world record score in the qualification round – not including the score of the final round. Consequently, a maximum of 100 points can be obtained in category B by tying the world record or setting a new world record in the qualification round.
To compare the scores of each event that fall between the maximum limit of the world record score (WR) and the minimum limit of the minimum qualification score (MQS), an ISSF world ranking and scoring table was developed.This scoring table is based on the scores of the previous four years, in which the world record is the maximum score and the MQS the minimum. Between them, the average scores of all the 8th ranks and all the 20th ranks at all ISSF supervised championships are calculated.
...
The points from both A and B categories are then added together and show the performance score for the ISSF world rankings of each shooter achieved in a specific championship. This value changes with time and moves closer to zero with each passing day at a given rate depending on the valid period of a championship.
All of which basicly means that it's a monumental amount of effort and dedication to get a top-level ranking. It's not a case of going to one match and having a good day; it's years of effort and large amounts of commitment. It takes a lot of time, a lot of brass and quite a bit of money to get into the top 50, let alone the top 20 or top ten.
So FLOYDSTER and the others (and the ones in the top 100 as well, several of whom post here and almost all of whom read here) deserve a pretty fecking loud round of applause.
(And all that has just been for the rifle shooting - there's pistol and shotgun as well and we punch way above our weight there too...)0 -

Depends who you are!;), so you're fooked!! lol, although I hear if you do the score in training you're in!:D
I did ask the question at the AGM about Qualification matches and scores but it was a little hazy!, I think there will be certain matches put on and used for qualification and you'll have to shoot a certain score at these matches to qualify for the chance of going to the major match the qualification match was put on for!;)
but just to recap..........you're fooked!!0 -

Only if your coach signs off on it and the NTSA agrees with him, and even then only if there's an available place. (And if they're looking at your kit and thinking "How the bleep is he even hitting the card, let alone the ten in that pile of blank?", that can be a factor as wellDepends who you are!;), so you're fooked!! lol, although I hear if you do the score in training you're in!:D

Ah, here!I did ask the question at the AGM about Qualification matches and scores but it was a little hazy!
As in, literally, here (and here)
(btw, while we're being cheeky, ahem and cough,cough)
Cheeky gitCome on Slack Boy!!, we are waiting:D The little fella is down sick, so it's taken longer to find out that they don't have the data - it's not archived in the magazines before 2009, there doesn't seem to be any month-by-month archive in the ISSF website, the ESC might have their european-only rankings in theirs (still checking that) but there doesn't seem to be anywhere nice and neat to go to for the rankings

Yup, especially after the 590 "limit" finally got put to restIt wasn't me! wrote: »Nice one. That's a better reflection. And again, something that can be improved on this year.
Also from the European rankings btw...49(49) FLOYDSTER IRL
95(94) MiGiD IRL
Not sure why psf isn't in there though, I would have thought he would have been.0 -
