*OVERALL RATINGS

The overall rating is based on a combination of the below criteria, plus quantitative player/agent survey feedback and player benefit data.

WCA acknowledges other stakeholders may have additional metrics that they measure against.

It is important to note that there are limited protections for players included in these Regulations and they have not been approved by, or negotiated by, WCA. If a player is blocked from participating in a league under these regulations, depending on the circumstances, it may not be lawful.
