Regions & How Rankings Work
How regions work on OWR and how playing events builds your regional and global ranking.
OWR groups events and players by region. Use the region selector in the top navigation to browse events elsewhere, for example if you are travelling to a tournament in another country.
How your ranking builds
Your ranking comes from the tournaments you play. When an organiser finalises an event, your win, loss and draw record and your ranking update. You do not need to do anything beyond playing and being checked in.
You have a regional rank, shown on the registration screen and your player card, and you also appear in the global rankings.
How each event turns into Masters ranking points, including the Strength of Field bonus, is in How Masters Ranking Points Are Calculated.
Placings within a single event use tiebreakers the organiser sets. See FAQ: Pairings, Tiebreakers & Strength of Schedule.
