WorldSkills Results and Reports
Member Comparison Reports
At the conclusion of each WorldSkills Competition, WorldSkills International produces five reports that enable
Members to compare their performance to other Members. Each report uses a different metric for comparison.
Where skill competitions have Competitors grouped into teams, these teams are treated as a single Competitor
for the purpose of these reports.
Comparison by Member (Alphabetical)
This report lists each Member in alphabetical order of their two letter Member code. For each Member, it shows
the total number of points for medals, the average score for their Competitors on the WorldSkills Scale, the
number of skills they competed in, and the number of each type of medal awarded to the Member. Members
are not ranked in this report.
Comparison by Total Medal Points
This report ranks Members according to their total number of points for medals. Each medal awarded to a
Member earns them a number of points – 4 points for gold, 3 points for silver, 2 points for bronze and 1 point
for Medallion for Excellence. The highest ranked Member is the one with the most points.
Comparison by Average Medal Points
This report ranks Members according to their average medal points per skill. The average is produced by taking
the sum of all medal points achieved by the Member (as outlined in the previous report) and dividing it by the
number of skills the Member competed in.
Comparison by Total Point Score
This report ranks Members according to the total score on the WorldSkills Scale. This total is the summation of
scores achieved by each of their Competitors across all skill competitions. Members that compete in the most
number of skill competitions are usually at the top of this ranking.
Comparison by Average Point Score
This report ranks Members according to the average score their competitors achieved on the WorldSkills Scale
across all skill competitions. This is calculated by adding all Competitor scores for the Member, then dividing by
the number of skill competitions the Member competed in. This provides an estimate of the level of excellence of
an average Competitor from each Member.
Best of Nation
Each Member’s Technical Delegate selects one of their competitors to receive the Best of Nation award for their
country/region. This is often the Competitor with the highest points on the WorldSkills Scale and/or the highest
medal in their Member’s team.
Albert Vidal Award
Named after the founder of WorldSkills International, Francisco Albert Vidal, this award is given to the
Competitor(s) with the highest score on the WorldSkills Scale.
