The Raw Deal world rankings use the ELO ranking system to determine a player's position. World qualifiers & the World Championship The Raw Deal World Championships were held every year in the same city as WWE WrestleMania, on the same weekend as the event. To reach the world championships, a player must have either win a regional qualifier, finish as the number-one ranked player in the world, or be one of the top 50 ranked players and be randomly chosen to attend. World Championship qualifier tournaments typically attracted much larger numbers and considerably greater amounts of prize support than a normal tournament, although they were conducted in exactly the same way. The winner received a trip to the World Championships in addition to any other prize support. When the Raw Deal Player's Committee started running the World Championships in 2008, they were held every year in Indianapolis, Indiana at Gen Con. Players still had to qualify to participate in the Championships. In 2013, this was changed to an Open Championship format, where any player who showed up to the event was allowed to participate.
