Even if Li Zongwei is the first now, it won't be long before Dānlín will surpass him!
The so-called Olympic points refer to the points earned by athletes who participated in the competition and graded it within 1 2 months from May 2007 to April 30, 2008. The Olympiad score is actually the world ranking score during this period, and the calculation method is equivalent to the world ranking score. It is worth noting that after entering the Olympic points cycle, the original world ranking points of all athletes are not zero, but still rise and fall according to certain laws. In order to understand the law of Olympic points, we only need to understand what the world ranking system is all about.
World rankings reflect strength.
The so-called world ranking, strictly speaking, reflects the strength of players according to the level of points. All five events are ranked in the world, and an athlete can get points by participating in the competition with points. The higher the competition level, the higher the score, the higher the number of winning rounds and the more points. Players who have participated in two or more points competitions in recent 12 months will appear in the ranking list. According to the ranking, you can decide the seed players of an event; You can also determine the qualifications for the Olympic Games, World Championships and Super Grand Prix Finals.
The key factors affecting the score are: first, the scoring cycle; The second is the scores of individual events and winning and losing rounds; Third, the winning and losing points of team events; Third, the calculation method of the score.
The scoring period is 65438+February (52 weeks) moving period. Only in the last 12 months, those who have scored in the competition with the scoring level recognized by the World Badminton Federation can get points, which does not include junior competitions and invitational competitions. The integral that disappeared in the week before1February (53 weeks) and the integral that increased in the recent week directly affect the increase and decrease of the integral. The declining policies of 90%, 75% and 55% in the world ranking system in 2002 adopted in the past were cancelled. According to this regulation, the period from May 1 2007 to April 30, 2008 belongs to an integral cycle, and the points earned by players in the competitions before May 1 2007 have been cancelled before April 30, 2008. Take the Malaysia-Korea Super Series in June this year 1 as an example.
World Badminton Federation reclassifies competition levels.
The World Badminton Federation (BWF) adjusted the individual event level and the points of winning and losing rounds this year. The biggest difference is to redefine the classification of events.
In the past, the World Badminton Federation divided individual events from low to high into satellite events, one-star to six-star events and so on according to the amount of prizes. Starting from this year, the World Badminton Federation will divide all competitions into four levels, with the highest level being the World Badminton Federation events, such as Sudirman Cup and World Championships. The second level is the super series. The total prize money for each game is not less than $200,000. * * * There are 12 games throughout the year. The third level is the Golden Grand Prix and the Grand Prix, which are subdivided into 3A and 3B by the China Badminton Association. These two events have a total of 10 stops throughout the year, in which the total prize money of the Golden Grand Prix is not less than10.2 million US dollars, and the total prize money of the Grand Prix is not less than 50,000 US dollars. The fourth level is the international challenge, international series and future series, and other events with low or no bonus.
According to the level of the competition, the World Badminton Federation reset the points of each level of competition. Generally speaking, the higher the level, the higher the score.
According to the regulations of the World Badminton Federation, a member association (except Oceania) can only hold two points competitions a year, and only China can hold two super series competitions, and none of the other points competitions can be held. According to the calendar of 2007, the Masters and China Open held in China this year are both super series. In addition, the BWF also stipulates that the countries hosting the BWF can hold one more points competition, such as the Sudirman Cup in Britain and the World Championships in Malaysia this year. These two countries can hold another points competition this year.
Calculation method of ranking integral
Badminton world rankings are refreshed once a week, and the World Badminton Federation will announce the latest list in official website every Thursday. The change of players' ranking mainly depends on the number of times and achievements they participate in the competition, but the more times they participate in the competition, the higher the ranking is.
According to the regulations of the World Badminton Federation, each athlete has participated in the grading competitions with a score of 10 or less in a single event in the last 12 months, and the points are the accumulation of points obtained in these competitions. If he participates in grading competitions with more than 65,438+065,438+00 points, the score is the accumulation of 65,438+00 points of high scores obtained in these competitions. This means that if a player plays less than 10, his points will be affected, but if he plays more than 10, he can only choose the best 10 game to calculate points, and the rest points will not be counted.
The integral calculation of individual events and group events with points is different. Individual events are basically calculated according to the results of the players participating in one stop. The higher the ranking, the higher the score. Team projects are different. At present, the team events with points include Tang You Cup Continental Qualifiers, Tang You Cup Finals, Sudirman Cup and Intercontinental Team Championships. However, when athletes participate in the above-mentioned team events in the last 12 months, they can only get points with the best game.
Difference between Super Series and the Third Grand Prix
The 12 Super Series launched this year has attracted great attention from the top players in the world because of its high level and many points. At the beginning of the year, in Malaysia and South Korea, almost all the top players in each individual event rushed out. But in these two games, what we see is different from the past, high-level players often collide in advance, and players from a country or region are often divided into the same half. For example, in South Korea, we are divided into three mixed doubles.
The main reason is that the World Badminton Federation has made some special regulations on the rules of the Super Series. First of all, there are 32 seats in each event of each super series, of which 28 seats in each event belong to the players who directly enter the event, and the other 4 seats are reserved for the players who have played since the preliminaries. Only the top 28 players in the world can enter the competition directly. Secondly, in the super series, the previous rule that players from the same country or region should not be placed in the same half was cancelled. When drawing lots, after the seeded playersNo. 1 to No.4 are placed, the remaining players will be randomly selected in turn.
