BTB Ranking Explained

The BTB Ranking reflects player performance in official BTB beach tennis tournaments and leagues. Points can be earned at BTB-organized ranking tournaments and leagues published on this website.

General Regulations

• ITF Beach Tennis regulations apply during all ranking tournaments and leagues.
• Points can be earned in doubles, mixed and singles competitions.
• Per calendar year, up to 4 ranking tournaments per category (doubles / mixed / singles) take place.
• In addition, 3 doubles leagues and 1 mixed league are held per calendar year.
• Tournament points and league points have equal value.
• League points are awarded based on the final league standings.
• The ranking is based on the player’s total points earned in doubles, mixed and singles over the past 52 weeks.
• No points are awarded to teams or players that register but do not play.
• Reaching a decision-making round does not grant extra points.
• The organization reserves the right to deviate from the tournament/competition set-up and associated points awarded as described in this document.

Points

Ranking tournaments are divided into 4 levels: fun, intermediate, advanced and open. When less than 3 levels are played at a ranking tournament, points are awarded based on the higher level.
For example: during a ranking tournament there are not enough registrations for the intermediate level. The fun category has thus automatically become the second level, which means that the point are awarded according to the second level, in this case intermediate.

• Points expire after 52 weeks.
• For each player, the two lowest tournament or league results within the 52-week period are not counted in the ranking.

Points are awarded to the teams that reach the elimination round. For the complete point allocation, see the table below.

Most Valuable Player (MVP)

• The MVP of the year is the player who collects the highest total number of ranking points within the calendar year.
• An MVP will be elected in both the women’s and men’s categories.
