Main Nue---Cumulative Monthly Rankings of Esku Pilota Players--May 30-November 12, 2019

Main Nue cumulative ranking of Esku Pilota PlayersEsku Pilota publishes a "classement" (ranking) of its roster approximately every month. Ranking is determined by a combination of the importance of a Tournament/Competition and where the player finished in the T/C. The best complete explanation I found was in the Esku Pilota archives.

Ranking explanation (August 9, 2017, the most recent one I could find). Basic points available for Tournament/Competition winner are at the top of the page. Breakdown of other allocated based on remaining finishers can be found below the actual rankings. The higher ranked T/Ps ( (Masters and Pro) are usually played by EP's "A" players. The other Tournaments are usually played by Ep's "B" players. Often there are overlaps between the players' categories and the Tournaments they are in. Below the classification you will see an early attempt (2017) to keep track of players' actual won-loss records by "A's" and "B's". It was complex and awkward. In its place, I have decided to post a cumulative set of rankings.  I have organized them by release dated so that you can see how a player is progressing over time. Unfortunately, EP does not, to my knowledge, keep an archive of old rankings at this time. I am beginning in May of 2019, as that is the fist set of rankings I discovered when I re-started the blog in January. What is presented is a ranking (1-24 at this time) of EP players for the latest time period. That is lined up against old rankings. The raw number is combined with the ordinal ranking number and will be presented in ascending order for the latest month. The latest month will be the key sort, so that the ordinal rankings will not be in order for the earlier months, but you will easily be able to see if a player is improving, declining, or "yo-yo-ing" over time. EP's "A" players will usually be at the top of the list because the events they play in are worth more ranking points. Players are identified by position (AV=Avant (front); AR=Arriere (back)). The players with the largest ranking improvements and declines will be identified each month.

Hopefully this will give you some sense of who stands where in the  EP constellation over time, without going through the complexities of a cumulative win-loss record table.

For the individual Tournaments that make up this ranking, consult the Main Nue section of the Blog. Tournament results will be available in reverse chronological order. Note that Le Garat Lundi (mostly) 50 point matches are accounted for on a separate page.
