do we have a british ranking ????? if not can we have one ????? neil will be best person to ask for it , i dont mean who we think is ranked here and there but from results i can quit easy put in a british ranking section on the chat room, think it would be good to hav to see who is were.

I'm VERY surprised to hear one doesn't already exist
I'll be watching this space.

Yeah, it would be good to have a ranking system, but i think it should be a points based system like formula 1, the more comps you pull and the better you place will give you more points, also it will encourage better turn outs for comps.
I'm thinking
1st = 20 points
2nd= 18
3rd= 16
4th= 14
5th= 12
and so on.


These points can also be combined for team rankings, again to encourage better turn outs.

Arm Wars events wouldn't count as not every UK puller gets to compete.

What do you think Terry?

neil pickup or paul maiden would be the best people to do the ranking system

well i think thats a good system dan and i agree it will push people knowing if they dont not pull comps people will pass them , end of year save the old records so people can look back on them then start again , take some work and also few people will need to put the time in to update any one elce any thoughts .

Dan's hit the nail on the head, big question is 'which comps should be ranked'.
It's not plausible to say EVERY comp because any pro can hold a competition.
As the sport develops comps north and south should be taken into consideration.

Uh-oh! Are me and Dean North or South? Haha. Dean you're 15 miles more northern than me..

Ok we're southern by a hair !!

Only comps sanctioned by the BAF, so New years cup, Preston, Granite Arm, Iron Arm, British novice and open, and any others that are arranged with Neil as part of the British calender. If it's not sanctioned by the BAF, then no results count towards rankings.
It would be cool to have a couple in Scotland sanctioned by BAF also, that way if you guy's north of the border can't make it down here, you can still gain points.

This system could then tie in with the great debate on who's novice and who's not. After reaching a certain amount of points, you have to move up and pull open class.
There can be no grey areas then.

If this is to be considered as BRITISH then the only borders that can be taken
into consideration are those between Scotland, England, Wales and Norther Ireland.
Granted there may not be much A.W. activity in Wales or Ireland but the same
can be said about Scotland.
If this is to develop into a british ranking structure the door must remain open
for these other countries.
If not it's simply just the english rankings.

I like your thinking Dan, very practical.
How do these other countries like America calculate their rankings

I wasn't saying it should just be English, I thought you were talking about that North vs South of England thing (which has been mentioned before) which is a bit daft imo.

Can't the rankings just be "British" including everyone.

I agree totally with what Nosf.. Dan said btw

It's cool m8, i know you weren't talking about an all english ranking.
I'd never heard of this division between the north and south of England
until i got involved in A.W. and joined this forum.
It's pathetic and anyone who agrees with such a division is small minded
and no different from those prejudice fools who try to make a headline
every once in a while.

mark its not a division thats fucking bull shit it called a laugh u no bit of good banter with the northern lads and the southern faggats lol haha there was even a
comp called north vs south at one time and i really good comp which the north WON but joking aside lets not start this shit
iv lots of friends from the south and there lots of good puller .

right back to british ranking ill ask neil about it at training and get back to u lot , i agree so many comps over a even area more point u get higher u go, i mean u will soon no your not ready for the pro,s soon as u hav no point lol haha

people that would like to be on the bored please put names forward , i myself will hav a go at it dan i think mybe u from the south lol haha ill ask neil and see were we go from there , moving forward it can only be good for the sport , we all entry to win and be the best so lets see were we all are in really life off results and hard work trying to make the comp and win.

I agree with all but one thing you've said Dan.
It would be fantastic to have a few comps in Scotland sanctioned by the B.A.F.
but as far as us still being able to use these comps to build points in the event
that we can't make it down south is not a good way to go.
If the B.A.F. sanctions a comp north or south of the border then we all have
a responsibility to attend. Otherwise thise will allow people to remain complacent
and not bother making an effort to atend most of the sanctioned comps.

That's fair enough Terry, there's nothing wrong with a bit of banter, we
have it up here with east and west.

also maybe more point for the worlds and british because always been the same because there hard comps alway get small turn out me for one hav never pulled a worlds like maybe to try this year .

spoken to neil he did say he tried it around 5 years ago based of a super series and it did not work , but he also said he was happy for me to compile a ranking system and try it , so lets do it need 3 guys to help me iv like dan to be one , also maybe we could start this with the preston comp ????

I'm not quite sure what the best way to rank is… I like what Dan said about the point system at a few select competitions during the year but then if Craig Sanders doesn't turn up to a couple of competitions and I take the #1 spot at 78kg then we'll all know he's still the best (but I guess that’s part of the game). So whilst I see the benefits of a point system I'm not sure if there should be a person involved taking into consideration the variability’s of the game like Engin Turzi does on www.WorldOfArmwrestling.com.

BUT, if we want a system that can run on it’s on, is very clear cut and doesn’t need managing then a straight point system is the best way forward.

Also, we would need to set the weight classes and then at every competition on the ranking calendar would need to have the same weight classes (that might mean a 65kg class at a small event).

I also think that we would need to make some of the competitions more heavily weighted so that more points are available at for example the British, EAF and WAF Championships. So instead of 10 points for a win in a normal domestic competition, 15 are available if you win the BAF and 20 if you win the WAF/EAF.

So after all that, in my opinion I think that a straight point system WITHOUT anyone’s interference with more heavily weighted competitions such as the British, WAF and EAF is the best way to rank in the UK.

What weight classes do you think we should include?

How about you Dan and someone else come up with the current rankings in the UK and then let the points decide from then on?

i agree with ever thing u say and if craig does not pull he loses point like any over human and if that means he drops down the system so be it thats the point of the system who pulled most over the year and who won more i hear what your saying that craig could pull 1 comp a year and still be classed number 1 like John Brzenk not pulling world and still the best , i total agree british and world should hold bigger point,s, the system im thinking of is to show black and white over the year who as pulled and won the most, i mean im sure there,s some freak out there that if he puller could be mega but if he dose not pull no point and no ranking.

like i say should be fun to see how it pans out , and fair play to any one that makes it all the comps and ranks high, iv started setting it up yeh id like dans help and maybe a few more people .
