Rankings for the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) are used to determine placement in overall standings (rather than win–loss record) and also to determine seedings at WFTDA Playoffs.
Achieving high rankings is also a goal for teams aiming to increase their stature in the organization.
Historically, the top 40 teams in the WFTDA as of June 30 were eligible for Division 1 tournaments that season, and the teams ranked 41–60 were eligible for Division 2 tournaments.
[4] The 2017 WFTDA Championships winner, Victorian Roller Derby League from Melbourne, Australia, became the first non-American team to achieve the top rankings slot in WFTDA history.
[5] Ranking scores are calculated by averaging the number of game points a team earns in the last twelve months by the number of games played in the same time period.
