how they work
How the rankings are calculated
Archers earn points from their finishing positions at World Archery ranking events, from the World Cup stages and World Championships to continental championships, with bigger events worth more.
Only a limited number of each archer's best results count, and results lose value as they get older, so the ranking reflects recent form.
schedule
When they're published
World Archery updates the rankings after its ranking events, so changes cluster around the competition season.
In the app: all four lists are checked on Monday and again on Tuesday morning, straight from World Archery.
