DEFINITION

The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Ranking is established on the FIVB Beach Volleyball ranking points earned at the eight (8) best performance as a team in all FIVB sanctioned or homologated beach volleyball tournaments over a 365-days period.

The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Ranking is updated every Monday after an FIVB sanctioned or homologated tournament granting FIVB Beach Volleyball ranking points.

The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Ranking is published on the FIVB/Volleyball World website and will be constantly updated.

TIE BREAKING PROCEDURE

When two or more athletes have the same sum of ranking points, tie shall be broken as follows:

• The most total points earned from the FIVB Senior World Championships, Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour Elite/Challenge tournaments that are part of eight (8) best performance as a team, and if still tied, then;

• The highest sum of two athlete’s technical points, and if still tied, then;

• The highest number of points from one single tournament, then, if needed, the second highest, and so on;

• If the above methods can’t break the ties, the two teams will then have the same FIVB Beach Volleyball World Ranking.
