WBF MASTER POINTS PLAN
1. Master Points (MPs)
The aim of MPs is to endeavour to indicate the true worth of a player.
MPs won years ago are, therefore, worth less than those MPs won more
recently. In other words, the capital of MPs of a player must diminish
and, if not added to by new successes, will tend to disappear.
2. Placing Points (PPs)
On the other hand, the PPs represent the CAREER of a player. Therefore,
the PPs won years ago have the same value as those won more recently.
Thus the PPs do not diminish but continue to accumulate.
3. Categories
a) World Grand Master (WGM) 10 PPs and at least are World Champion title.
b) World Life Master (WLM) 5 PPs.
c) World Master (WM) 150 MPs. WGMs and WLMs keep their titles for life.
The WMs lose their title when the total of their MPs becomes less than 150.
4. Open events and Women's events
The MPs won in the Open events and those won in the events reserved
for women will be subject to different rankings and will appear in two
separate lists. If a women wins MPs or PPs in an Open event her name
will appear on both lists:
a) In the Open list with MPs and PPs won in the Open events. These MPs
and PPs will determine her Open Category.
b) In the Women's list with the accumulation of MPs and PPs won in both the
Open and Women's events. These MPs and PPs will determine her category in
the Women's ranking.
Start up of the New System
A new total of MPs for each player has been established. This new total
takes into account only those MPs won during the last twelve years (from
1981 to 1992 inclusive). The total will then be multiplied by ten. This
multiplication is used in order to enlarge the scope of the MPs and enable
other tournaments to be endowed with MPs. On the other hand, the PPs total
will take into account all the results. The title of WGM and WLM obtained
through the previous system will be maintained.
Evolution of the New System
At the end of each year the total MPs for each player will be reduced by
15% (obviously the MPs won that year are not touched). The end of a 'Master
Point year' coincides with the beginning of the WBF World Championship each
year. Given that fractions of MPs do not exist, a system of 'rounding-out'
as shown below will be used. 3.4=3 3.5=4 0.5=1 0.1 =1 If a player's total
number of MPs becomes less than 3, it will be considered to equal zero and
the players name will disappear from the lists.
