At the end of 1999 over 750 members held an official singles ranking. The losing athlete drops only one position on the list. The system reflects the status of the moment. It is based entirely on head-on match results and the list is updated after each sanctioned tournament conducted in Alberta. Defaulted matches are usually ignored.
Results involving an injury or illness are subject to review.
A loss considered totally inconsistent with an athlete's ability level may result in the athlete being removed from the list at the discretion of the competitions committee. Individuals noticing any irregularities with the monthly rankings are asked to contact Badminton Alberta. The points standings will be updated and circulated following each of the identified events. The national points standings are now available as provided by Badminton Canada and their web-site .
