INTERNATIONALL RANKING SYSTEM
The international ranking system (1-7) was originally developed in Spain and is for having knowledge of one's own level and thus having an equal partner and, perhaps most importantly, playing matches and tournaments with equal opponents. It is therefore important that all clubs and organizations follow the same ranking, which makes it possible to find tournaments for their own conditions. This is a big part of why the sport has become so popular and is truly a sport for everyone.
