AZB Player Profile

So I was just looking on the player profiles section on the main page to see how much $$$ the pro's actually made this year compared to my working self. After seeing how little they actually make I decided to look though the player finder/profile list and found that it's full of amateur players as well as pro players. Once I got done looking at my stats for the year so far (over $3k) I randomly pick some names as it lists a full history of tournaments that person has ever cashed in (and of course I’m nosy:grin:).

So, I notice in my own profile that I have no AZB Player rank yet some random name I pick that has $0 won this year or last from tournaments has a ranking including a change in that rank of over 1000 places since last week!

Now that got me wondering, why wouldn’t my profile have a player rank? Who exactly maintains these stats and what would cause someone to jump over 1000 places on the list when not winning anything? Are these rankings actually used for anything or by anyone?
 
I believe the AZB Player Ranking is a function of how many visits that player's profile has had.
 
Bingo buddy. If you win a tournament that is covered by AZB, your rank will go up a lot because of all the people thinking "who the hell is this guy???".
 
It is a good question, I have wondered the same thing before. I use this list to look up players that I know and yes there are many names on there that were plugged in years ago and these players do not even compete anymore but their ranking changes every time I check in. I have always figured it to be a computer generated thing......What ever that is;)

Exactly. When a player's name is clicked, it adds to the ranking and that moves them up. So, if someone is mentioned in an article, they most likely will get moved up because their name gets clicked a lot more.

I don't think anyone really pays attention to the rankings except maybe the players who are ranked (lol), if they know this exists at all.

BTW, what's your name? We can all start clicking on your profile for ya. ;)
 
I just clicked on your name like 4 times Stewart, so maybe you will go up?? LOL
