Re: a new idea - player ranking
Isn't this what "Normalised Scoring" does? (In options). I always use normalised to see who is/isn't doing well regardless of numeric score. A mediocre player can attain a large number of points in an hour or two of playing - the default numeric ranking places them top whereas normalised p...
