[QUOTE="invitro, post: 151465, member: 446"] I think this example should be 20th on 7 (not 8) tables :). Ok, no, I agree that 20th on 7 tables should ranked higher than 1st on 1 table, well, maybe. If both players already have several top-30 scores, then adding a #1 score seems better than adding seven #20 scores. So actually, I'm not sure if I agree or not. The exp-formula top 100, with only a player's top 23 tables counted, is still my "official" one. I will wait a few days for feedback before doing anything else. I think I might actually make a poll to choose between the methods. For each possible method (exp, log on 500 players, log on 100 players, linear, IFPA, maybe another if someone gives an explicit formula), I would post the top 100 as calculated by that method. But I would only give the ranks of the scores each player got, not their username. Then I would choose (probably) the method with the most votes. I suppose that with the poll sub-forum, it is ok to post such a limited-interest poll there :). [/QUOTE]
