Vikingeric who is #1 on this list said himself, humbly, that "such and such is a better player.  I just play more tables, he deserves #1 spot".  And I totally agree with his stance.  I have way more respect for the dude who holds #1 on 3 tables than the guy whose 50th on every table in the game.  BTW I'm not suggesting he change it.  I think the current way it's set up strikes a good balance between super skilled players, and giving everyone a shot so to speak.  The current leaderboard isn't all that much different from the pinball leaderboards themselves.  He's done a great job with it.Not to mention, stretching it past 100 would also be a ton more work, what he does is a ton of work as is!</blockquote>
