How Did The Old Points System Work?

A new scoring system has been developed for the second World Tour Championship. For each test series in the 2019-2021 cycles, the point total is 120, with the points divided equally across all of the matches. Because of the COVID outbreak, it was decided that the rankings would be calculated based on the points available.

How Does the New Points System Work?

In 2021-23, test point allotments have been equalized. The number of points scored during each Test match has been adjusted to 12 for a victory, four for a draw, and six for a tie. In a five-test series, a total of 60 points are available, while in a two-test series, a maximum of 24 points is available. To determine the rankings, points must be accumulated.

This method provides for the comparison of team performances throughout the season, regardless of whether a series or match is interrupted. It will also equalize the number of games each side has played.

What To Expect

Matches were halted due to the COVID-19 epidemic in March 2020 and didn't resume until July of the following year. The series between South Africa and Australia was canceled, so New Zealand was the first team to qualify for the final.
