What The FIVB Ranking Measures

This game uses the women's FIVB Senior World Rankings for national volleyball teams.

  • Lower rank numbers are better: No. 1 is above No. 20.
  • Gameplay is based on rank position, while each reveal also shows the team's current FIVB points.
  • The current system updates after eligible official matches with a zero-sum formula based on match weight, actual result, and expected result.

The rank is ordinal; the points show the transfer math underneath the table.
