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 .

I think the record posted is just games from this season, while the hidden skill rating that allows him to be #1 is from all time. So if your hidden skill rating is good enough to be on the list, and you've completed 5+ games during the season, and you've completed at least 1 league game during the previous week, then you will be immortalized on the weekly list in a position representative of your overall hidden skill rating.

So his 5-0 is just his record from this season, not all the games he's ever played.
