Coming January 1, 2009
Partnership with the Provincial Tennis Associations (PTAs), will launch the Rogers Rankings on January 1, 2009. This new and enhanced ranking system is based on the proven Chess Elo ranking system and has been developed and used with exceptional accuracy by the Quebec Tennis Federation for over twenty-five years. The Rogers Rankings will allow all competitors to compare themselves to the nation’s top players. Similar systems have also been in use in Spain and France. The Rogers Rankings system will award points to players based on quality of wins (i.e. head-to-head results) versus rounds won in a tournament.

The system generates accurate rankings due to its ability to evaluate the calibre of competing players. Based on this premise, the stronger player is expected to win while the weaker player is expected to lose. Players will be ranked according to points accumulated in national, provincial and international tournaments sanctioned by the Tennis Canada ranking committee. Player points will be used to compute a national and provincial ranking. To ensure accuracy, Tennis Canada and the PTAs began testing the system internally on January 1, 2008. Testing will occur for one full year before the launch on January 1, 2009.
