Teams from member countries World Rugby are ranked according to their fun results, with the top teams ranked among the most amazing. A points system is used, points being awarded based on the results of international matches perceived by World Rugby.
All World Rugby member countries received a rating from 0 to 100, with the top team scoring around 90 points. The points system is calculated using a system of “exchange points,” in which the parties get points from each other according to the outcome of the match: any gain on one side, alternative loss. The exchanges depend on the outcome of the game, the positioning of each team and the edge of the victory, with a margin for the advantage of the house.
Rankings depend on a team’s performance, and subsequent results and important matches are evaluated more actively to help reflect a team’s current competitive situation. The positioning system was introduced the month before the Rugby World Cup 2003, and the leading new scores were published on September 8, 2003.
Where are the new countries starting? As of December 1, 2012, when a nation becomes a Full Member Union, it will be added to the World Rugby Ranking with a score of 30. Rankings are receptive to results and are accessible from the bottom to the best (and vice versa) in less than 20 games. Countries will regularly have a score between 0 and 100.
While the system hopes to present the current strengths of the team, past successes or losses will fade and be overtaken by subsequent results. Therefore, it is suspected that this will create an accurate picture describing the actual quality and, in this sense, the rank of nations. The rankings answer the results, and it is possible to climb to the best of the base (and vice versa) in less than 20 parts.
As all matches are justified, regardless of the combined 0 point network for both teams, there is no specific advantage to playing more games. Standings remain the same at the point where the team plays one more time. Although matches often result in redemption’s, “predictable” results result in exceptionally minor changes and may not result in a change in the rating of either party.
