Are you talking about the world rankings? If so, those are very heavily weighted for the ISU Championships. 4CC and Worlds are where the majority of the points are earned. With the French out of Europeans they'll make up ground on them. I don't really feel like the rankings mean much as far as the actual ranking is concerned, but the prize money at the end of the season is pretty nice in terms of off-setting the cost of training (in addition to what they recieve from Skate Canada, etc.)
