Road to Worlds
Third time lucky...the Roundnet World Championships are once again scheduled for September.
Between September 8-11th dozens of nations from around the world will come together for the biggest festival of Roundnet ever.
What we know so far is that there will be two ways to compete.
1) The Greatest Roundnet Team: Players can enter their own team and compete against the best in the world for the title of World Champions.
2) The Greatest Roundnet Nation: Each National Governing Body can select a national squad to represent their country on the world stage. Games won will contribute to their team score with the aim of crowning the greatest Roundnet nation!
The competition will be held at Park Molenheide, Belgium and we want to send Australia's best. To do that we have schedule of events, a point system and a framework for ranking players across the country.
So now you want to know about how to earn points and become a nationally ranked player? Read on...
Player Points
When you compete in an official Roundnet Tournament you'll earn points. Both you and your teammate earn the same amount of points based on the placing you achieve in the tournament.
The higher you place, the more points you'll win. Plus, the more teams in the tournament, the more points up for grabs.
Each player has their own points so you can go on to play with the same teammate next time or compete with another teammate at your next tournament.

National Rankings
To become a nationally ranked player you'll first need to become a member of the Australian Roundnet Association.
At any point in time, the sum of your highest three scores determine your total points and therefore your ranking.
One year after you earned your points they halve in value. Two years after you earned your points the points have no value. So you need to keep competing to stay on top!
To be ranked on the Australian Roundnet National Rankings one of the three scores contributing to a player's total must have been from a tournament based in Australia.
Qualification for World's
A selection committee appointed by the Australian Roundnet Association will select the team to represent Australia at the World Championships in Belgium.
The committee will use the Australian Roundnet National Rankings and performance at recent International Roundnet Tournaments as part of their selection criteria.
