Rankings
Where a competition counts toward the world rankings, its results are sent to the rankings as a file, which the site writes for you from what you have entered. The Rankings tab is where you have it.
The tab
Open the tournament's page and choose Rankings, the last of its tabs. It says that the world rankings use the tournament's results through the file, so that managers do not need to do anything. The file is a text file for Association Croquet and a spreadsheet for Golf Croquet and American 6 Wicket. Beneath the words is Download games for world ranking, which saves the file. It is there before a single score is entered, and gives a file with nothing in it until one is.
The tab is only in the page of a tournament that counts toward the world rankings, which is to say one with a competition that counts. It is offered to its managers and to the world ranking officers of its sport, and not to a scorer who is neither. The file itself is at the tournament's own address followed by /rankings, as /2026/ac/spring-open/rankings, which is the address the site has always given it, and anybody who has the address may open it.
What is in the file
Every score that has been entered and not archived is in it, in the order it was entered, including a score that has been withdrawn, and those of a player who has withdrawn. A score archived is not. A match won by a bye or a walkover was not played, so it has no line.
A player is given by their world ranking name, which is their name where they have not been given another.
Association Croquet has a block for each competition that has a score: its event, its dates, its winner, whether it was matches or single games, and a numbered line for each result, as "1 Sam Someone beat Alex Another +9". A score is the winner's hoops less the loser's, with a plus where the winner scored more, and the peels after it. A knockout's match is one line, with each game's score in turn. The Winner line of each block is left empty, since a test is won by a team and not by a player.
Golf Croquet and American 6 Wicket have a spreadsheet: the tournament's name, its days and how many games it holds, then a numbered line for each game, with the winner's family name and first name, "beat", the loser's, and the two scores. Each game of a knockout's match is a line of its own. Beneath the last, the line Tournament winner: is left empty, for whoever uses the file to fill in.
When there is no file
A tournament none of whose competitions counts toward the world rankings has no file. Opening its rankings address shows a page that says so and why: its sport has no world rankings, or none of its competitions counts, because each is played with handicaps, allows drawn results, or was ticked not to count. That is set when each competition is added, and changed with its Edit. Only the competitions that count are in the file.
