Note: Originally intended to be an open weight title match, both fighters weighed in the 74kg division come fight day. Rank points will therefore apply to A division 74kg, not open weight.
American Sambo Association Freestyle Sambo™ Rankings are compiled in an ongoing fashion and are not renewed annually. As players continue to compete they will earn points under the guidelines printed below. This ranking system is designed to encourage consistent competition by athletes. Players who continually compete and place will earn points and surpass those who do not. Because of this, rankings do not need to be renewed each year. Those who do not continue to compete and earn points will drop lower the rankings over time.
Points are awarded via the following guidelines:
Amateur open tournament medallists will be awarded the following points based on place finish in their respective divisions (A or B). In the event of a three person division, only gold and silver will earn rank points.
Gold – 3 points
Silver – 2 points
Bronze – 1 point
Amateur fight card or elite tournament participants will be awarded the following points for A division ranking:
4 man tournament winner – 3 points
4 man tournament finals loser – 1 point
Single fightcard or superfight match winner – 2 points
Winning players in team challenges - 2 points
Winners of a best of three event - 2 points
In the event of a tie or draw, awarded points will be dropped by one point and awarded to both players.
Names may appear in multiple divisions due to weight changes and other factors.
