Boccia Australia Rankings

UPDATE - Your input is sought.

 23 March 2025: The Boccia Australia Competitions Committee has committed to reviewing the current and historical athlete ranking points system. From this review, it is the intention to implement a system which can recognise athlete achievement at multiple competition levels and which incentivises attendance at BA sanctioned competitions.

The annual Australian competition cycle culminates with the Boccia Australia National Titles. Leading up to BANT25, the Competitions Committee needs to collect a great deal of information to ensure that transition to a new system is done in such a way to not disadvantage any athlete.

Not only will we need competition TDs to submit competition results, but we also want to hear from you on what we should be considering to make sure we have a world class ranking system for our Australian context.

We also know different approaches have been tried in the past and will try to understand how these worked or what gaps they had to shape the final outcome.

During 2025, a decision will be made on the timing of implementation - whether the system starts after BANT25, BANT26 or a combination with a staged approach.

Following rankings are based on attendance at the Boccia Australia National Titles held over the 3 years, regardless of their registration as an independent or member of a state team.  Points are awarded as follows:

•          1st = 5points

•          2nd= 4 points

•          3rd = 3 points

•          4th = 2 points

•          Remainder = 0.5 points                                                                         

Note: 

• Only Australian Athletes are ranked
• Athletes whose classification is changed are recorded as the class they played in that year, and their points are carried over into the next year.
