RANKINGS
Tracking Progress, One Event at a Time
Rankings help players see how far they’ve come and give them something to aim for, including a spot on the pathway to state championships.
How Points Work
Players earn points at RSPA Junior Circuit events in their age group (10U, 12U, 14U and 18U).
Good to Know
- Up to 4 matches count at each event.
- Byes earn 0 points.
- A walkover counts as a win for the opponent, and a player who doesn’t show up loses the playing point.
- An event counts only if at least 4 players are in the draw.
Example: An 8-Player Draw
Here’s how points add up in an 8-player draw.
Season Ranking
- Each player’s best 4 events count toward their season ranking (best 3 for 10U).
- Ties are broken in this order: most main-draw wins, head-to-head result, most events played, then best single-event total.
How Rankings Lead to State Championships
- Players need to play at least 2 circuit events in a state to qualify for that state’s championship.
- The top 8 players in each age group and gender qualify.
- If a spot opens up, it goes to the next player on the list, in order.
- The tournament director may give 1–2 wildcards.

A Note for Parents
Rankings are one way to measure progress, but they aren’t the only one. For beginner to intermediate players, learning to compete, staying positive and having fun matter most.
