Hopefully some of the changes I put in will foster more activity from those that are "on the brink" of making the list.

A glance at the new list can be found here:

The 'activity' requirement is off for this week due to having to make changes to the backend to track it. So the list may shrink considerably for those that don't play over a week.

Since you linked to it, do you mind if I make a suggestion?

Take a look at #1 2v2r; he's 5-0, which is impressive, but I'm assuming those are placement games (since Doodat and I are at #60 2v2 with 5-0 placements) - I would not consider placement games to be a true representation of skill. Yeah, they help to place someone into an appropriate league, but the "real" games start once you're already placed. I know he won't stay at the top unless he keeps winning, but skyrocketing to 1st might not be the right way to represent skill rating.

Therefore, I would consider making it 5 games after the initial placement(s).

Just my 2c. Thanks for actively making changes to this - I think many of us have been pushing for a better ranking system for awhile .
