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, amazingly, there have been no repeat winners at Elite Series or Major events! 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.
