The MBF Micras Rankings are the official ranking system used by the MBF. Since it's introduction in late 2018, MBF ranks men's and women's teams in senior competitions.

Calculation principles

The ratings are based on the following formulae:

P_n = P_o + V_m + C_w + R_w - P_d

Pn	= The new team rating
Po	= The old team rating
Vm	= Victory margin
Cw	= Competition weight
Rw	= Round weight
Pd	= Points downgrade

Victory margin

Each game is initially valued at 100 basis points, divided between the two teams as follows:

Victory margin	Points to winner	Points to loser
Less than 10 points	60	40
10–19 points	70	30
20 or more points	80	20
Forfeit	100	0
