 RULES CWR Women

                                                                      

Period of calculation: last 12 months.

 

Level

 

Each country is endowed by level (L) from 1 to 5 which reflects an estimated quality of its league .

Each club from a league takes its level.

The maximal level is 5 and not 4 as at CWR Men because of more difference in strength in women’s football.

 

At assigning the level, following criteria were taken in consideration:

UEFA Women's Country Coefficients

Copa Libertadores Femenina Coefficients

Country’s performance in international club competitions

FIFA Women Ranking for national teams

 

Calculation system

 

Ranking is measured in ranking points.

Ranking Points (RP) = League Ranking Points (LRP) + Cup Ranking Points (CRP) + International Ranking Points (IRP)

 

LRP = P*L

P = points amassed in national league for period of calculation (2 for win, 1 for draw, 0 for loss).

L = level

 

CRP = 5*R*L

R = number of Cup rounds won for period of calculation (only final 3 Cup rounds and Supercup are in consideration)

L = level

 

IRP is counted from the table below.

Each game played in the competition listed in the table has a coefficient which depends on the stage (put in the corresponding table cell).

For every game, the club-participant receives the number of points which is the result of multiplication of this coefficient to 2 if it wins, 1 if it ties and 0 if it loses.

IRP is a sum of points received in every game.
