New Ranking Features Explained

* Global team rankings are calculated over the previous 156 weeks, however for National rankings teams drop off after 52 weeks without a game.

**********

Batting Rankings

Batting Game Points = ((Runs Scored x Strike Rate) + 15 for Not out )

Note: The maximum points per game is capped at 300

Adjusted Batting Points = Batting Game Points x League Weighting (LW) x Pitch Weighting (PW) x Time Weighting (TW)

Note: In weeks where a player bats in two or more games the weekly average (WA) column will show the average batting Game Points in that week, after LW and PW weightings are applied. This is to ensure that the function of the Time Weighting is fair for players that play once a week and players that play multiple games per week.

The figure in the WA column is then multiplied by the TW figure.

BATTING RANKING Points = Average of The Adjusted Batting Points obtained in the last 3 years.

However there is a Minimum Divisor of 25. This means if a player has played in less than 25 games instead of dividing by the number of games he has played to calculate the average, we have used 25. (If a player has played 30 games in 20 Game weeks he will only actually have 20 game week scores so his divisor will be 25.)
This ensures that players that have been playing for a longer period are rewarded.
If a player does not bat in a game, then no batting points are allocated and nor will the divisor increase.

Bowling Rankings

Bowling Game Points =25 for every wicket + Points obtained as per Economy rate Table

Adjusted Bowling Points = Bowling Game Points x (LW) x (PW) x (TW)

Note: In weeks where a player bowls in 2 or more games the WA (weekly average) column will show the average of bowling Game Points in week (after LW and PW weightings applied).

The figure in the WA column is then multiplied by the TW figure.

Note: The maximum points per game is capped at 300

Bowling Ranking Points = Average of The Adjusted bowling Points obtained in the last 3 years.

However there is a Minimum Divisor of 25. This means if a player has played in less than 25 games instead of dividing by the number of games he has played to calculate the average, we have used 25. (If a player has played 30 games in 20 Game weeks he will only actually have 20 game week scores so his divisor will be 25.)
This ensures that players that have been playing for a longer period are rewarded.
If a player does not bowl in a game, then no bowling points are allocated and nor will the divisor increase.

Keeping Rankings

Actual score = 15 per catch + 50 per stumping + Batting Points
Average points to worked out under same rules as Bowling and Batting as outlined above

Note: The player's batting points only get added in games where the player has also been wicket keeper.

Keeping Ranking Points = Average of The Adjusted keeping Points obtained in the last 3 years.

Team Rankings

Game Points Per Match

Teams are awarded a points score for every game played as per the Team Points Table 4.1
In finals Points Table 4.2 is used instead of Table 4.1.
When a team BEATS a team in the top 500 of the world rankings they gain extra points as per TABLE 4.3

Adjusted Team Points = Game Points x TW

Team Ranking Points = Average of The Adjusted Team Points obtained in the last 3 years.

Min Divisor of 25. If a team has played less than 25 times in the last 3 years the divisor is 25.

Every LMS pitch around the world now has a Pitch Rating that is used when applying Pitch Weighting score to each match.

Pitch Rating Formula - Total runs scored on pitch (from the last 100 games) divided by number of overs bowled.

The average Pitch Rating Globally from all games since LMS started is 7.45 (as of 1 March 2016). We have used this stat when applying a Pitch Weighting (PW) table to all Games prior to ranking upgrade.

When less than 12 games are played on a pitch the table above is ignored and the weighting defaults to 0.92 for batting and bowling. Over time the pitch weighting may change, however when this happens it will only affect the games in the future.

5.3 TIME WEIGHTING TABLE

The purpose of the time weighting column is to reward current form over past form.

You will also notice that if a player plays in more than one game per week, the points are combined in a weekly average (WA). This is to ensure that the function of the Time Weighting is fair for players that play once a week and players that play multiple games per week.

The first 25 game weeks of player have a fixed time weighting of 0.5 but not any of a players first 25 games weeks that fall after "103 weeks back".

6. Player of the Match Award

The Player of the Match is the player who scored the most points the match when combing batting and bowling points. If a player did not bowl but kept in a game then his keeping points must be used instead of his bowling points. If a player kept and bowled his keeping points get disregarded for purposes of calculating the Player of the Match.
