World Chase Tag® has officially launched its first public team rankings, introducing a transparent leaderboard that ranks 35 teams from 9 countries based on competitive performance. Women’s Division rankings are not yet available.
The rankings, now live at worldchasetag.com/leaderboard, use an ELO-based system that weighs event tier (World Championships carrying more weight than Chase-Offs), match stage (finals worth more than group matches), opponent strength, and score.
Hollywood Freerunners claim the top spot. The reigning World Champions have lost just one match in two years, a November 2025 defeat to Rooftop Kings at the Rotterdam Chase-Off.
France and the United States dominate the top 10, reflecting both nations’ active competition calendars and status as the only countries hosting regular WCT National Championships.
The Top 10
| Rank | Team | Country |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hollywood Freerunners | USA |
| 2 | Parkour59 | France |
| 3 | Apex Moon | USA |
| 4 | Fakaw | France |
| 5 | Kimeo | France |
| 6 | The Crow | France |
| 7 | NYX | USA |
| 8 | Mamba | France |
| 9 | Fata Morgana | Israel |
| 10 | UGEN | UK |
Key Storylines
Apex Moon (#3) remains highly ranked despite failing to qualify for WCT7 Worlds, a reflection of their dominant run as three-time consecutive US Champions and WCT5 World Champions.
Kimeo (#5), the reigning vice-World Champions, also missed WCT7 qualification after finishing fourth at the French Championship. Their ranking is expected to drop following the Paris event.
NYX (#7) enters the rankings after a single event winning the WCT7 US Championship undefeated. Whether the Georgia-based squad can sustain that form remains to be seen.
Rooftop Kings (#11) show the sharpest upward trajectory, climbing rapidly after consecutive wins over top-10 opponents including Hollywood Freerunners, Parkour59, Fakaw, Fata Morgana, and UGEN at the Brent Cross, Rotterdam and Malaga Chase-Offs.
UGEN (#10), the world’s longest-standing team, close out the top 10, though many fans would rank them higher based on legacy alone. Official tournament results tell a different story.
Fata Morgana (#9) hold steady as the top-ranked team outside France and the US, though limited event participation constrains their ceiling.
How the Rankings Work
The ELO system calculates team strength based on:
- Event tier: Worlds > Continentals > Nationals > Chase-Offs
- Match stage: Finals weighted more heavily than group stages
- Opponent strength: Beating higher-ranked teams yields more points
- Score differential: Margin of victory matters
Data includes all official WCT events and select Chase-Offs from WCT5 onwards.
What’s Next
The rankings will shift significantly following the WCT7 World Championships in Paris (June 6-7, 2026), where qualified teams will compete for the sport’s highest title and the points that come with it.
