School or club creating and getting a ranking

Schools and clubs do not define federation ranking formulas, but your member and team data heavily affects ranking correctness.

What this step is for

You support accurate ranking outcomes by ensuring member identity, team context, and event participation records are correct before and after publication.

Step-by-step

Step 1: Validate member identity and organization linkage

Before event close, verify:

members are linked to correct school/club
no duplicate member accounts
team affiliations are current

Step 2: Validate class and participation context

For each ranking-relevant member/team:

class assignment is correct
age category is correct
partner/roster context is correct

Step 3: Review event result publication status

After event, confirm ranking-relevant classes are published and final (no unresolved disputes).

Step 4: Review published rankings quickly

When rankings update:

check top members/teams from your club
compare against expected results
flag obvious mismatches immediately

Step 5: Raise correction requests with evidence

When reporting issues, include:

member/team ID
event/class reference
expected vs actual ranking outcome
supporting evidence (published result references)

Common blockers and fixes

“Member missing from rankings”

Fix:

verify member used correct account
verify class/result was ranking-eligible
escalate with event and participant IDs

“Ranking appears under wrong club”

Fix:

verify organization linkage history
confirm transfer timing and effective date
request federation correction if mapping is wrong

“Team ranking does not match published result”

Fix:

verify final published class result
check for post-event correction notes
escalate discrepancy with evidence

What success looks like

Your members appear in rankings correctly with minimal correction cycles, and any issues are resolved quickly with clear evidence.
