How do TT team rankings work?? Does it depend on individual ranking of players?

There are two forms of team rankings - Normal and Olympic system. In both systems, top 3 players' ranks from each NOC are considered and matches between all the NOC are simulated. 

Normal rankings are used for World Championships and other team tournaments because the playing system is best of 5 single matches viz : A v X, B v Y, C v Z, A v Y, B v X. Virtual matches are simulated between all NOCs, the NOC which wins a virtual match gets 2 points and the other NOC gets zero.

For example, if top 3 players of NOC1 is 52, 65, 89 and for NOC2 is 43, 78, 81 then by the playing system the results of virtual matches is given below

52 vs 43 NOC2 wins

65 vs 78 NOC1 wins

89 vs 81 NOC2 wins

52 vs 78 NOC1 wins

65 vs 43 NOC2 wins

So NOC2 wins the virtual duel 3-2 and gets 2 points and NOC1 gets 0. Similar simulations occur between all NOCs and they are ranked based on the points garnered

 

If one notices since China has the best 5 men's singles players, it should win all virtual matches and hence it garnered 296 points as number of NOCs is 149

 

Olympic rankings are used for Olympic Games only and the playing system is BC vs YZ, A vs X, C vs Z, A vs Y, B vs X ie there are 4 singles matches and one doubles match. 

 

On a sidenote, India's ranking has been consistently been around 11th-13th because its top 2 players, Sathiyan and Achanta have been in the 30-40 rank range but the third ranked player was always above 100. The ranking leaped to 8th now because Harmeet Desai improved his ranking from 104 to 84

How is she third? In the list, she is at no 6. Even if there is one entrant per country, she will be no. 4. She will anyways be going to Tokyo and the best bet for a medal.

From the screen grab she seems 3rd as 201kg is higher than 188kg in terms of higher weight lifted.

It is because the Colombian has participated in one event in period 3. Her score is the total of 4 results. Mirabhai's score is of 3 results.

What is the qualification procedure ?

There are 3 periods of 6 months each. 

First period: 1-11-2018 to 30-4-2019

Second period: 1-5-2019 to 31-10-2019

Third period: 1-11-2019 to 30-4-2020

 

Every lifter trying to qualify must have one result from each period. The best score of each period is combined. They also add another score which is best of the rest in the 18 month period.

 

The athlete must participate in a minimum of 6 competition in this qualification period. They should have competed in gold level event and another gold or silver level event. ( The events are categorized as Gold, Silver and Bronze).

The athlete must have participated in atleast two events in Olympic categories.

Furthermore, top 8 athletes earn a quota place for every weight category. One country can have only one quota in one weight category. The next 5 quotas go to the lifters from five continents. The last quota is either for host or tripartite invitation.

New Swimming national records galore at South Asian games, multiple OSTs achieved, almost unreal. Perhaps the biggest news in the recent months.
