How the World Skateboarding Ranking works
Checked 21 October 2026Valid for: the World Skateboarding Ranking (WSR) in street and park, from two World Skate explainers (2026 and earlier). The points per place are not saved: they are in a World Skate bulletin of July 2024 that could not be found, so this page gives the structure only. Official source: worldskate.org, World Skateboarding Ranking. Not covered: the points table; other skateboarding disciplines.
Skateboarding has one world ranking for street and one for park, men and women, built from results on the World Skateboarding Tour. The Tour has two levels:
| Event | Weight |
|---|---|
| World Championships (one a year in each discipline) | the most points |
| World Cup events (more often) | slightly fewer points |
The ranking rolls: only results from the last 18 months count, and only a skater's best few:
| Discipline | Best results counted |
|---|---|
| Street | 4 |
| Park | 3 |
It is never reset to zero, even after an Olympic Games, so a new skater can climb without a mountain of old points to catch up on.
The one thing to remember: the skateboarding ranking is your best three or four results from the last year and a half.
What it is for
- Seeding: a higher place means starting further into an event.
- Entry to World Skate events through the LA28 cycle.
- Olympic qualification: 20 of the 22 places in each LA28 event come from the ranking on 11 June 2028, and only points from the qualification period count then. A skater who does not hold one of their country's three national places must be in the top 30 of the ranking and among the top 6 of their country to progress towards the Games (the "bubble").
What is missing
How many points each place earns at a World Cup or World Championships. World Skate says the allocations stayed as they were before the rolling system began in 2024. To add before Gate 1.
