Using Australia as an example is pretty simple, as the documentation
is easy to find and in a familiar language to many.

OK, fairly different from the US ranking system (which is also based
on percentage of winner's score in a given contest). Selection for
the
national team is based on ranking in the national contest for that
class
two years in a row, although preference for flying the pre-worlds is
included.
