The SportMartialArts.com/Open World Tour Rankings come from SportMartialArts.com and the Open World Tour with input from an advisory group of top analysts, writers, media, journalists and even some coaches and promoters who are watching the action at events around the world. The rankings are updated monthly based on Open World Tour events that took place that month but notable performances in non-Open World Tour events may be part of the analysis as well. The analysis takes into account performance at events along with many other factors such as who else competed, size of divisions, head-to-head competition with other ranked competitors and more.
