The ISSF Technical Committee, during its latest meeting on 12th December 2024, decided as proposed by the Athletes Committee, to establish a new athlete World Ranking scoring and points allocation system for all ISSF Olympic event lists.
To allow time for this new system to be established and rolled out, the 2024 athlete World Ranking lists as of 31 December 2024 will remain extant and valid on 1 January 2025.
Athlete event ranking will not be set back to zero as in previous years.
These 2024 rankings will remain in place during January 2025, until such time as the new World Ranking procedure is decided and validated, in liaison with the Athlete Committee, at the next Technical Committee meeting on 7 and 8 February 2025.
The future intention is that these athlete World Rankings will be maintained on a rolling and more regular basis, driven and informed by the ISSF event calendar and event schedules.
For ease of management and convenience to all, these lists would be officially published and promulgated by ISSF on the first of every month, commencing 1 March 2025.
