Australian National Rankings
The Australian National Ranking system provides a real time ranking of a players’ position in Australia. The rankings are based on the results from Australian tournaments and used in the seeding for state and territory championships.
Player rankings are updated weekly and the the BA ranking system works on a rolling year i.e. as each new week in the current year appears, the previous year’s week is removed.
For any queries regarding the Australian National Ranking, please email ausnationalrankings@badminton.org.au
