What have been some of the challenges experienced since launching the Rogers Rankings?
Overall, the Rogers Rankings have been working as expected; ranking calculations are accurate and players are fluctuating based on their results. Additionally, the Rogers Rankings appear to be accurately representative within each province. The main challenge identified has been the correlation of rankings between provinces; statistics have indicated that some provincial points are higher than others, which has an impact on the national standings. While the logistics of a head-to-head system suggest that such variances will be worked out over time, the National Ranking committee agrees that manually adjusting player points will be the quickest and most beneficial solution for all. As a result, the National Ranking committee has conducted a full audit of the rankings and players have been adjusted. The committee also agreed to utilize 2010 as a new start to the Rogers Rankings as it relates to player initialization and point calculations.
