Specifically, the calculation method of table tennis world ranking includes the following aspects:

1. The level of the competition. ITTF divides the competition into four levels: Grand Slam, World Tour, International Challenge and International Series. Different levels of competition have different points, and the grand slam competition has the highest points.

2. The level of the players. ITTF classifies athletes according to their strength and ranking. If the top player beats the bottom player in the game, he will get a lower score accordingly.

3. Competition results. The player's performance in the game is the key factor to calculate the points, and victory can bring more points to the player.
