The [World Darts Federation](/source/World_Darts_Federation) recognise many darts tournaments each year including major titles such as the [Lakeside World Professional Championship](/source/BDO_World_Darts_Championship) and the [Winmau World Masters](/source/Winmau_World_Masters). Through 2007, the WDF had held four majors which constituted the Grand Slam, until the [Topic International Darts League](/source/International_Darts_League) and [Bavaria World Darts Trophy](/source/World_Darts_Trophy) were cancelled in 2008 following the withdrawal of the Dutch broadcasters [SBS6](/source/SBS6), when it was announced that [PDC](/source/Professional_Darts_Corporation) players, including [Raymond van Barneveld](/source/Raymond_van_Barneveld), [Jelle Klaasen](/source/Jelle_Klaasen), and [Michael van Gerwen](/source/Michael_van_Gerwen) would not be competing.

In 2020, the WDF took over the running of the World Championship and World Masters from the BDO. To coincide with this, they updated their ranking criteria and the WDF World Rankings.

## Tournaments

Tournaments listed below are recognised by the WDF and ranked accordingly to their point allocation system but are not organised or run by them they are staged by WDF member associations, councils federations and organisations.

The tournaments organised and operated by the WDF are:

- The World Championship (annual)

- The World Masters (annual)

- The WDF World Cup (every two years)

- The WDF Europe Cup (every two years)

- The WDF Asia-Pacific Cup (every two years)

- The WDF Americas Cup (every two years)

## Tournament levels and points allocation

Prior to 2020, a player's WDF Ranking is based on the total points they have accrued over the previous 12-month period that run from December to December according to the tournament schedule [1] from the following 85 tournaments:

- The five World Darts Federation Major tournaments.

- The thirteen World Darts Federation Category One tournaments.

- The twenty six World Darts Federation Category Two tournaments.

- The thirty seven World Darts Federation Category Three tournaments.

- The four Major international events [WDF World Cup](/source/WDF_World_Cup) (singles, pairs, team), [WDF Americas Cup](/source/WDF_Americas_Cup) (singles, pairs, team), [WDF Europe Cup](/source/WDF_Europe_Cup)(singles, pairs, team) and [WDF Asia-Pacific Cup](/source/WDF_Asia-Pacific_Cup)(singles, pairs, team).

Since 2020, the criteria has been modified and adapted. Now, the Men's and Women's WDF Main Ranking Tables are 104 week rolling tables and are used for seeding WDF ranked tournaments. Each player's best 15 points totals count towards their overall ranking. The Boys and Girls WDF Main Ranking tables are 52 week rolling tables and are used for seeding WDF ranked tournaments. Each player's best 10 points totals count towards their overall ranking.

## Ranking method

Since the formation of the WDF rankings in 1974, the method used to calculate a player's ranking points has changed several times.
