Preamble

For this Beach Soccer Season 2016, BSWW has established a World Ranking taking into account all the panorama of Beach Soccer events and competitions, adjusting the points in most of the competitions, following the criteria of 25% reduction from the 1st to 2nd position and a subsequent decrease of 20%, to make the ranking much more fair with the exception of the league.

The basis of the BSWW World Ranking takes into consideration many aspects and factors observed by the FIFA/Coca-Cola Men’s World Ranking.

The weighting of the BSWW World Ranking follows a points-per-event system, where the position occupied in the standings of every event awards a determined amount of points to the given national team.

There are 6 (six) types of categorized events, ordered from highest to lowest in points:

1. FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup 2. FBSWC – Confederation Qualifier 3. Intercontinental Beach Soccer Cup 4. Continental Beach Soccer League 5. Continental Beach Soccer Cups & Games 6. BSWW Tours: BSWW Tour (Category 1) BSWW Tour (Category 2) 7. Friendly Matches

The following information explains and develops the criteria and point weight given to each of the mentioned categories.

1. Assessment periods

§ November 2012 – October 2016:

The BSWW World Ranking will consider last 4 years starting from October 2016 (November 2012-October 2016) in order to draw a more updated picture of the beach soccer standings, one that reflects a clearer reality of the sport.

The period assessed meets a gradual decrease of the points weighting. Thus, the value of each year is 25% lower than the previous:

□ November 2012 – October 2013; Year value: 25% □ November 2013 – October 2014; Year value: 50% □ November 2014 – October 2015; Year value: 75% □ November 2015 – October 2016; Year value: 100%

The ranking will be updated and published monthly.

2. Weighting Factor - Confederation Qualifiers

The weighting factor for the Confederations Qualifier is determined on the basis of the last 3 (three) FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup final competitions. The following calculation steps, which are described in the table below, apply:

a) Interconfederation* Matches at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cups Final Competition b) Win = 1 point // Win at AET or PSO = 0.5

Win = 1 point // Win at AET =0.5 // Win at PSO = 0.25 (new as of the FBSWC Portugal 2015) c) Average per Game: WINS/TOTAL GAMES d) Average per Game during the last 3 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cups Competitions: Av. 2011-15 = (Av.2011 + Av.2013 + Av.2015) / 3 e) The confederation weighting value ("Weight") is calculated in relation to the BEST confederation weighting value. Weight = √(√(Av.2011-15x / BEST Av.2011-15)) f) If WEIGHT ≤ 0.85, the weighting value assigned will be = 0.85
