Who's coming into Emporia in good form?
August 30, 2022 by Charlie Eisenhood in Rankings with 0 comments
It has been too long since we released an update to the Power Rankings, but better late than never! With Worlds ready to roll in Emporia, we’ve got the hot list of players coming into the event. All events over the last two months were considered in this edition of the rankings, dating back to The Preserve. In that span, there have been six different Elite Series or Major winners, and just one player (Paige Pierce) with multiple wins. It’s part of the reason this year’s World Championships feels up for grabs.
Let’s dive in to the rankings.
Methodology: We combine an algorithmic objective ranking with subjective ballots submitted by UWDG staff. The algorithm uses a standardized scoring model to compare elite events, awards competition, and cash bonuses, and features a decay function that gradually phases out past results.
