What figures does this ranking use?
Contests?
Placings?

If so, how can we deal with the federation issue?
Always a mystery to me.

There are lots of topics/features to make a "reasonable" ranking:
a) Strength (in relation to bodyweight).

Code: [Select]

A WSE kind of equation would give a rating for placings
b) Contest placings. Since not every contest is an equal challenge to the athletes, a coefficient should be applied to each contest.

Code: [Select]

But let's face it... Not only the judging has been sucking lately (they seem beauty contests with muscles), but also the coefficients assigned to each contest would be too subjective.
I'd give K+ to anybody truthfully saying that is happy with placings in every contest.
c) Muscle mass to body weight ratio

Code: [Select]

Easy to establish, but does not assure good proportions, or symmetry.

d) Progress indicators

Code: [Select]

Any of the above criteria (or another), but taking account of the progresses made in a unit of time

Just a thought that came while reading the list... Any other ideas to rank?

[guana]

You posed Wendy McCready twice and Fannie Barrios is dead.   

[Timmon]

The latest IFBB list is here, accurate to March 2010   http://www.getbig.com/ranking/prorankw.htm

Some of your questions re criteria are answered krajo.
Yes, Wendy McCready is mentioned twice here too, guana. I did not see Fannie in the list, but I guess being dead,  or having retired from the sport, is not a reason to lose your placing if you are still ranked high and have an unbeaten record.

[Female Muscle Guide]

No Sheila Bleck? I would have thought she'd make the list.

[polecia]

Number 47 (Maria Gomez Segura) and 70 (Elizabeth Gomez Mesa) are from México, not USA or England.

[Timmon]

No Sheila Bleck? I would have thought she'd make the list.

She has only been a Pro since 2008 , so it's probably because she has only entered one competition as a Pro in 2010 (New York Pro) where she came 2nd. The NY Pro was held in May this year, but the list was compiled in March, so Sheila is probably already in the top 100. Not sure how often the list is updated?

[tommywri]

I hear Lisa Aukland just moved to the PAC 10

[ngorongoro]

number 99, Fannie Barrios has been dead for 6 years.

[DRF]

A top 100 and Denise Rutkowski is not even in it...hmmm

[UK_Fan]

A top 100 and Denise Rutkowski is not even in it...hmmm

If you read the other posts and the off-site data, the list was a ranking based on pro competition results at the time (presumably only going back say 6 years [not that many contests per year, so its better to go back a reasonably long way] - why Lenda Murray was so low on the list - she retired after the 2004 Ms. O), with a bias towards the latest and most prestigious contests, a bit like the tennis or golf rankings (Jack Nicholson would be No. 1 and Tiger Woods permanently No. 2 if it were an 'all-time' ranking).  If the IFBB still does a ranking today, you'd obviously find them to be completely different again.

I hope this clears things up for you.

[rom553]

Nice list. This must have taken you quite a while to compile. What criteria did you use? Some of these girls I never heard of & others are not even bodybuilders. You also left  out some outstanding women, Sarah Hayes & Shannon Courtney to name only two. 

[charliew]

It's quite a list - but its a pretty much pointless outdated list. Alina Popa anybody?

[Timmon]

OK, The original list was published in 2010, so not much point in relating it to your views of today. Treat it and accept it as a historical record of the rankings 6 years ago.
The most up to date list I can find was first published in 2013, and allegedly updated in 2015 ( but no idea what was updated, maybe some spelling?!).

Some of the criteria for the list are shown on get big  http://www.getbig.com/ranking/prorankw.htm

Maybe a top 100 Physique competitors would be more appropriate  these days, but I can't find one.
