Men's Squash World Rankings


The Men's Squash World Rankings are the official world rankings for men's squash. The ranking is to rate the performance level of male professional squash players. It is also a merit-based method used for determining entry and seeding in men's squash tournaments. The rankings have been produced monthly then weekly since 29 August 2022.

PSA ranking policy

Players competing in PSA tournaments earn ranking points according to how far they get in the draw. The points available depend on the prize money and the draw size. The weekly rankings are used in selecting entries to tournaments and in determining the seeds.
The total number of points a player has earned in the previous 52 weeks is divided by the number of tournaments played to give a ranking average. Where a player has played more than 11 tournaments the best scores are selected according to the averaging formula.
For example, a player who has competed in 16 events will have his best 12 scores used. These will be accumulated and divided by 12.
Players competing in PSA World Tour Events earn ranking points according to the prize money, classification of the event, and the final position in the draw the player reaches.

Divisor

A divisor is selected based on the number of tournaments played during the year as shown in the [|table below]. The average is calculated from the highest points scored for this number of events over the past 52 weeks:
