A unified ranking system for international tournaments

Put your club and your name at the top of European footvolley

The League of Champions ranking system allocates points to both clubs and individual players in recognition of collective contributions to Europe’s footvolley clubs’ successes as well as personal achievements.

As a club tour, all players can proudly play and represent their footvolley club internationally. Players are allowed to represent two clubs every season in 1000 and 500 tournaments. 100 tournaments are open to everyone.

Points are awarded as follows:

In 1000 and 500 tournaments, players and clubs will receive full points depending on their placement (see chart on the bottom of this page).

In 100 tournaments, both players will receive full points. However, if the two players represent different clubs, the points awarded to the clubs will be halved.

Example 1 (1000 or 500 tournaments):

If Player A and Player B representing Club X win a 1000 tournament, points will be given as follows:

Player A: 1000 points.
Player B: 1000 points.
Club X: 1000 points.

Example 2 (100 tournaments):

If Player C representing Club Y and Player D representing Club Z win a 100 tournament, points will be given as follows:

Player C: 100 points.
Player D: 100 points.
Club Y: 50 points.
Club Z: 50 points.
