Calculating the ranking

Speed events

The athlete or team with the highest result ($R$) is ranked first (rank 1). The athlete with the second highest result is ranked second, (rank 2) and so on.

In the case of a tie, where the number of athletes or teams ($m$) have the same result ($R$), which would result in the rank ($n$), all those athletes or teams are awarded the same rank ($n$). The next best result ($R$) is ranked with rank plus the number of teams/athletes ($n + m$). For example, if 3 athletes ($m = 3$) have the same speed score and rank 4th, they all get ranked fourth (rank 4). The athlete with the next score gets ranked seventh, (rank 7) since $n$ is 4 and $m$ is 3 their sum is 7 ($4 + 3 = 7$).

Freestyle events

The athlete or team with the highest result ($R$) is ranked first (rank 1). The athlete with the second highest result is ranked second, (rank 2) and so on.

In case of a tie, where multiple teams or athletes have the same result ($R$), the athletes or teams will be further compared based on their deduction score ($M$). The athlete or team with fewer deductions is ranked first.

If this does not resolve the tie, the athletes or teams with the same result, and deduction score will be further compared based on their Required Elements score ($Q$). The athlete or team with fewer missed required elements are ranked first.

If this does not resolve the tie, the athletes or teams with the same result, deduction score, and required elements score will be further compared based on their presentation score ($P$). The athlete or team with the higher presentation score is ranked first.

If this does not resolve the tie, the athletes or teams with the same result, deduction score, required elements score and presentation score will be further compared based on their difficulty score ($D$). The athlete or team with the higher difficulty score is ranked first.

If this does not resolve the tie and there are $m$ athletes or teams with the same result, deduction-, required elements-, presentation-, and difficulty score, which would result in the same rank $n$, all those athletes or teams are awarded rank $n$. The next best result ($R$) is ranked with rank $n + m$.

Overall and All-Around results

The winner of the overall/all-around competitions is determined by the sum of their ranks in each event. The winner will have the lowest rank sum. For example, if an athlete places rank 1, rank 2, rank 3 in their three events, the sum of their ranks is 6 ($1 + 2 + 3 = 6$). (the rank sum is called $T$)

When calculating the ranks for the component events of an overall/all-around, only athletes or teams competing in the overall/all-around should be taken into account.

In the Individual Overall Competition, the rank for the Single Rope Individual Freestyle get multiplied by 2 before adding it to the rank sum.

In case of a tie, the scores for each event are recalculated into a normalised score to preserve the differences between the scores while still making the events play an equal role in the result.

The highest score in an event gets a score of 100, the lowest score gets a score of 1.

To convert a result ($R$) into a normalised score, the highest score of the competitors in that event entered into the Overall/All-Around is called $R_{max}$, the lowest score is called $R_{min}$, the normalised score is called $N$ and the following operation is performed for each entry:

$$N = \frac{\left(100 - 1\right)\left(R - R_{min} \right)}{R_{max} - R_{min}} + 1$$

In the Individual Overall Competition $N$ for Single Rope Individual Freestyle is multiplied by 2 to give freestyle a simulated equal impact as speed.

The normalized scores for all the events are then summarized into a total normalized score, the tie breaker (called $B$) The athlete/team with the highest total normalized score is ranked first in the tie, the second best total normalized score is ranked second and so on.
