PREAMBLE
For this Beach Soccer Season 2015, BSWW has established a World Ranking taking into account all
the panorama of Beach Soccer events and competitions.
The basis of the BSWW World Ranking takes into consideration many aspects and factors observed
by the FIFA/Coca-Cola Men’s World Ranking.
The weighting of the BSWW World Ranking follows a points-per-event system, where the position
occupied in the standings of every event awards a determined amount of points to the given
national team.
There are 6 (six) types of categorized events, ordered from highest to lowest in points:

2. WEIGHTING FACTOR - CONFEDERATION QUALIFIERS
The weighting factor for the Confederations Qualifier is determined on the basis of the last 3 (three)
FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup final competitions. The following calculation steps, which are
described in the table below, apply:
Interconfederation1 Matches at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cups Final Competition
Win = 1 point // Win at AET or PSO = 0,5
Average per Game: WINS/TOTAL GAMES
Average per Game during the last 3 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cups Competitions:
Av. 2009-13 = (Av.2009 + Av.2011 + Av.2013) / 3
e) The confederation weighting value ("Weight") is calculated in relation to the BEST
confederation weighting value.
Weight = √(√(Av.2009-13x / BEST Av.2009-13))
f) If WEIGHT ≤ 0,85, the weighting value assigned will be = 0,85

straight degradation from 1750 points to 60 points and segmented per round: Group Phase,
