Prestige Weight
Different contest series carry different weight based on their competitive level:
| Contest Series | Weight |

| Giants Live / World's Ultimate Strongman | 7 |
| Strongman Champions League | 5 |
| Rogue Invitational | 6 |
| National Championships | 3 |
| Other Competitions | 2 |
Recency Weight
More recent results count more:
| Timeframe | Weight |
|---|---|
| Current Year | 1.0 |
| 1 Year Ago | 0.8 |
| 2 Years Ago | 0.5 |
| 3 Years Ago | 0.3 |
| 4+ Years Ago | 0.1 |
Placement Score
| Placement | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st Place | 10 |
| 2nd Place | 7 |
| 3rd Place | 5 |
| Top 5 | 3 |
| Top 10 | 1 |
Final Score
Score = SUM(prestige_weight x recency_weight x placement_score) across all eligible contests.
About Athlete Rankings
Our power rankings use a weighted scoring algorithm that factors in contest prestige, placement, and recency. Athletes who perform well at major competitions like World's Strongest Man and the Arnold Strongman Classic earn significantly more ranking points than results at smaller events.
Rankings are calculated from official competition results. The "Current Year" view focuses on recent form, while "All-Time" rankings give a broader historical perspective with recency weighting to keep results relevant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Rankings use a weighted algorithm that considers competition wins, placement consistency, competition difficulty and prestige, and recency of results. Winning a major international event like World's Strongest Man or the Arnold Strongman Classic earns significantly more ranking points than a regional contest.
Rankings are recalculated whenever new competition results are added to the database. As contests are completed and results verified, the rankings automatically reflect the latest performances.
More recent competition results carry greater weight in the scoring algorithm. This ensures that the "Current Year" rankings reflect an athlete's current form, while the "All-Time" rankings still give appropriate credit to historical performances with a gradual decay factor.
