The PWA?s stats guys have been busy scrutinizing the 2010 season results data base to bring you the Overall PWA Nations Ranking.

What?s the Deal?

The Overall Nations Ranking allocates a position to each competing nation on the PWA World Tour, based on their performance over the course of that year. Ranks are subdivided into the three PWA disciplines (race / wave / freestyle) for each nation, in addition to a final overall rank for the season based on the combined scores for each disciple.

The rank for each nation is based on the top two performers in each discipline, regardless of sex. These two scores are then combined and allocated to their respective position in the nation ranking score sheet for that discipline. The overall ranking is calculated on the combined scores of all three disciplines for each nation.
