FAQ - Rankings
Players can receive an official Australian Ranking (AR) by participating in an official Pickleball Australia, Australian Ranking (AR) Tournament.
Australian Ranking categories include Opens, Juniors (18 and Under), 19+, 35+, 50+, 60+, 70+ and ParaPickleball.
A players best 10 results in singles, doubles and mixed doubles formats will count towards their Australian Ranking.
Example: Bill is 52 years old. Across the year, Bill chooses to play in Opens and 50+ categories at different tournaments. Bill's results at each of these tournament will count towards his ranking in that particular category. Bill CANNOT have his points transferred to a different category.
Bill's best 6 50+ results will count toward his 50+ ranking.
Bill's best 6 Open results will count toward his Open ranking.
As Bill has played in both Opens and 50+ categories, he will have an Opens and 50+ ranking.
Only the highest skill bracket in each AR tournament will contribute to a players ranking. Example:
Jean is playing at the NSW Championships and wants to attain an Australian Ranking. The events in Jeans 70+ age group include 2.99 and under, 3.0-3.49 and 3.5 and above. To attain a ranking Jean MUST play in the 3.5 and above skill bracket. There will be NO AR points for the lesser brackets.
AR events will be clearly marked on the Pickleball Brackets file as "AR".

* If a particular event has less then 8 players/teams in the draw a small draw reduction of 50% of the available points will be allocated
Australian Ranking tournaments will take place in each State and Territory across Australia in 2025. A full list can be found on the sanctioned tournaments page and identified by their tier of ranking.
If an International player plays in an AR tournament they will receive AR points towards their AR.
Yes. No matter how many AR tournaments you play your AR points will be visible in the AR document.
A player can play as many AR tournaments as they please. Only a players top 10 results will count towards their AR in each category the participate.
Please refer to the PA Australian Ranking Guidelines for more information on how AR points are allocated.
A player who players in all three disciplines (singles, doubles and mixed) will achieve a ranking in each discipline. There is NO combined ranking which includes a players singles, doubles and mixed ranking results.
