Shifts in the ladder

The Windsor Super-Major was a fantastic debut event for the UKTC 2025/2026 season, with 248 registered players we have seen yet another shake-up of the UKTC rankings as the new points have been submitted to the circuit. The headline in simple: players who attend events moved up, and those who attended bigger events moved more. People that missed this weekend at best stayed still, but most often dropped places.

Congratulations to Nassim Fouchane and David Gaylard for battling through and making a 7-0 score line, to them will go the largest allocations of points and bolster their standings.

Now lets take a look at the numbers and the impact this event had.

attend and climb, skip and fall

Looking only at players from the Windsor roster who appeared in both the pre-event and post-event rankings:

+417.7 ranking places per attendee
Median gain of 81.0 points
Median rise of 261 places

That is no small jump there, we saw many players soar up the ranks.

By contrast, players who did not attend saw an average drop of 62.3 places.

Changes in the top 100

Windsor’s effect was not hidden deep in the rankings. It hit the top end of the table straight away.

In terms of how the top 100 changed:

1 new player entered the Top 10
2 new players entered the Top 25
5 new players entered the Top 50
10 new players entered the Top 100
9 of those 10 new Top 100 players played at Windsor

That is the story in one stat.

If you want to break into the upper tier, a strong Super-Major is almost mandatory to get you the traction you need.
