AMMA Athlete Ranking System
Overall team rankings | Asian Games ranking | AIMAG ranking
Chapter 1: General Overview
The AMMA Athlete Ranking System standardizes the management of athlete performance and encourages outstanding athletes to participate in high-level Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competitions organized or sanctioned by AMMA.
This document details how points are assigned to registered athletes from each Member country/region to determine their overall ranking within their weight class based on their placement at AMMA events.
Chapter 2: Fundamental Principles
- Athletes may obtain points through the following methods:
a. Participating in national/regional competitions, held by AMMA Member
countries/regions, using the AMMA Competition Rules and recognized or
approved by AMMA.
b. Participating in various subcontinental or zonal competitions recognized or
approved by AMMA. - AMMA reserves the right to determine the number of subcontinental or zonal competitions it will sanction or recognize each calendar year.
- If a weight category in an AMMA recognized/approved event has fewer than three (3) athletes competing; no points shall be awarded.
- Points accumulated by athletes reflect the individual athlete who has earned them and are non-transferrable.
- Points earned by an athlete in one weight category and format of competition (modern/traditional) cannot be transferred to another weight category and format. If an athlete decides to participate in a different weight category or format, the points
accumulated will not be tallied but will remain valid and separate. - Points earned by athletes are valid for twenty-four (24) months after the date of each AMMA recognized event attended.
a. 100% of an athletes’ points earned within the first twelve (12) months will be retained.
b. Points earned after the twelve (12) months and before twenty-four (24) months will be halved and counted at 50%.
c. Points will expire 24 months after the date of each AMMA recognized event. - Points earned will be used to determine the eligibility of athletes to participate in the Multiple Sports Events (e.g. Asian Games).
Note: The NOCs/ National Federation of each AMMA Member country/region may
substitute eligible athletes for the abovementioned events only in the specific weight category
and format that their athletes have accumulated points in.
