The Ranking Factor for each competitor is a series of algorithms calculated from these values.

Base score fired: A competitor's fired score for each tournament is used. Shoot a higher score, get a higher ranking. Scores at higher levels will make a greater difference in the ranking than lower scores will. This reflects the difficulty of shooting at that level.
Your score relative to the highest score fired: The closer you shoot to the winner of the match (regardless of actual score), the better your ranking.
Your score relative to the average score for that tournament: Your ranking is affected by how much your score differs from the average score fired in that tournament.
How long ago your score was fired: A recent score will affect your ranking more than an older one. Any score older than two years is not used in the ranking.
Your participation level: The more tournaments you fire in during the past two years, the higher your ranking gets. This means that someone who performs well for only a couple tournaments may be ranked lower than someone who did not shoot as well but comes out and participates every weekend.
