Rankings are allocated, as per the Diplomatic Pouch System, for every game or tournament listed on this site. Only South Africans, or those holding SA Titles are ranked. In individual games, in the event of draws, each participating player receives the placing of the lowest. Therefore, if four players draw for first, each comes fourth. In a tournament, however, ties receive the placement of the highest. So if two players tie for first place, then each receives a first place. Players who do not complete a game, or tournament, will not be given a ranking for that event, no matter what the circumstance of their withdrawal. Furthermore, players who do not finish a game, without a valid excuse, shall receive a -1 penalty on their ranking. This will discourage, hopefully, players who pull out of games. GMs receive 0.25 points for every event they GM. This is to encourage GMs at tournaments and in individual games.

In order for a game to count for rankings it must be registered with The Embassy at the start of the game.

In general, Internet, and one-off games have a weighting of 2. A two round tournament with seven players would have a weighting of 4, ands a two-table two round tournament would have a weighting of around 6.

Official SAWU Rankings are awarded only to SAWU Events (Hosted Internationals, Provincial and National Championships).
