Sumario:This article analyzes Brazilian volleyball’s ranking system and its impacts on the make-up of participating teams. Its methodology is qualitative, descriptive, using documentary analysis as its strategy. The results explore the reasons for implementing the athlete ranking; the scoring system and its consequences on the make-up of teams; and the recent demands that made the discussion controversial. It concludes that the current system is strongly restrictive for Brazilian and foreign athletes’ careers and only constant updating of the current criteria can dynamize Brazilian championships formed by clubs and companies dedicated to volleyball.
