Current UK Rankings as of 12th August 2010

Jordan Moves Back to British Number 2

By playing in both the Welsh and Sussex events Ray Jordan has climbed back up the rankings. Jermaine Manners is still comfortably clear due to his strong performances in World events over the last two years.

Jason Granville at No.3 adds an International element to the rankings. Ed Batson is up to No.8 after his win in Wales and may move up further with Alex Hartley being unable to play the upcoming Planancy English Open.

Others who may well break into top 10 after the Planancy English Open could include Chris McKee, Mark Steeden and Duncan Stahl as they have no points to defend from last year .

In the ladies category Natalie Lawrence holds onto the No.1 slot with Fiona Sime and Dianne Baker very close behind. These positions could well change after the English Open.

In the Veterans Steve Kneller and Rakesh Gupta, who are both competing on a global basis, are locked in battle for the No.1 position.

More Scottish Events?

With the start of a Scottish Tour, 5 events confirmed, we may see new names enter the list.  We are currently in discussion with Scottish racketlon to see if they would like these events added to the tournament schedule and ranking list.  We already include the Scottish Open and its great news to see more racketlon tournaments springing up in the UK.

There are plenty of other players who are expected to challenge in 2010. The returning Scot Calum Reid will challenge Jermaine Manners for the top spot if he enters more domestic events. Ed Batson & James Treweek will look to build on recent performances & others like Tom Whitehouse & James Bird could feature.

There has been a change on the World front with the maximum number of qualifying events over the 2 year period being reduced from 10 to 8.  This will impact Jermaine, Ray & to a “lesser” extent Keith (sorry but couldn’t resist the “pun”). The World Championships acted as an inspiration to all that attended. The UK game is really open now internationally following the retirement of Doug Struthers & John O'Donnell.

World Rankings

Currently, if you enter the English Open, Scottish Open, Welsh Open or British Open, you will qualify for world ranking points and thus a world ranking. This is because, these events form part of the world racketlon tour. The English & Scottish Opens form part of the world tour proper & the British & Welsh Opens as challenger events. In 2010 further domestic events will have world ranking points.
