USBA/WBA Ratings: General Information


The USBA/WBA is in the process of forming a breaking circuit consisting of tournaments from the local level to the World level. The major tournaments currently established or in negotiations are:  
  • USBA/WBA World Championships
  • USBA/WBA International Championships
  • USBA North American Championships
  • USBA United States Championships
  • USBA US East Coast Championships
  • USBA US West Coast Championships
  • WBA Canadian Championships 
  • WBA Caribbean Championships
  • WBA European Championships

There will also be local, state, regional, and national events that will be set up as qualifiers for the majors. A competitor will earn points toward their rating depending on the event and division they compete in. The ratings will be used to seed competitors as well as determine end of the year titles and prizes.

A sample of the ratings system is as follows:
World, International, and Continental Championships-
  • 1st place win/5 points
  • 2nd place win/4 points
  • 3rd place win/3 points
  • Officiating at event/2 points


North American, United States, US East Coast, US West Coast, North Eastern US, Caribbean, Canadian, and European Championships-
  • 1st place win/4 points
  • 2nd place win/3 points
  • 3rd place win/2.5 points
  • Officiating at event/2 points

National and Regional-
  • 1st place win/3 points
  • 2nd place win/2.5 points
  • 3rd place win/2 points
  • Officiating at event/1.5 points

State and Local-
  • 1st place win/2.5 points
  • 2nd place win/2 points
  • 3rd place win/1.5 points
  • Officiating at event/1 points

Defending titleholders will go off last in their respective division. The next three competitors will be seeded according to their cumulative ratings. In the event that the defending titleholder is not in attendance, the top rated competitor will go off last. Competitors of the Year (CoY), for the previous year, are seeded last in their divisions if the defending titleholder is not in attendance. If defending titleholder is in attendance, CoY will go off second to last.
