A minor complaint.....might even be nitpicking.
Chang and Feijen both have 813 points...
...but Chang is listed third....and Feijen is listed fourth.
Shouldn't they be tied for third?....or is there background info I don't have?
....like how they've done against each other.
There are more cases where players are tied in points...
It's like when you come in ninth through twelfth in a tournament....
....four players are tied for ninth

The ratings are just truncated to integers to be less overwhelming to read
Chang is 813.85
Feijen is 813.03
A question. Can you list the players that are retired? I wouldn't know who has played or not with a lot of players. I don't get to read about every match a person plays since the coverage isn't good in the pool world.
I probably watch as much Pool as anyone also

This is true. If a player continues to play, the rating tends to track current performance. But if a player stops playing then the rating will reflect the level of performance when they were last playing.
We can certainly include a requirement that a player must have played xxx games in the last yyy years to be on the list.
We just haven't done that yet.
What would reasonably be the longest gap you can play between matches and maintain a spot on the list? i.e. 4 years? Some people I've talked to believe they shouldn't qualify as a contender if they havent played in competition for 5 years and this is why I ask what is reasonable?
I would think the system will take care of it with no tweaking.
Eventually, all players who are active will overtake any who are not playing.
Where is Junior or Bastrop in this? How did David Henson get on the list. What did you use to measure his rating? Videos? Cause their are many videos of Junior and Bastrop online. I think they could be on the list. Also David Parker.
That's an interesting question, and it kind of has two answers.
Let's take Sarah Rousey as an example.
She played--that we have--several tournaments in 2010 (China Open, WPBA US, world 9-ball, and US Open (where she was supposed to play me but I stood her up!). Then in 2011 a NYC 9-ball tournament and in 2012 a BCAPL Womens Grand Master.
Her rating really reflects the way she was playing in 2010, and that's not a bad guess of how she'd be playing if she put her mind to it and started playing now. In THAT sense, that rating is the number we want for her.
On the other hand it is not unreasonable to also keep a list of currently active players. A player tends to play about 40 games per tournament give or take. So if we take as a standard 200 games in the last three years, that would be about like saying 5 tournaments in the last three years.
What do people think of that? Is that sufficient to brand player as currently active?
They have high ratings, and so does Melissa Herndon, however I have noticed only scores in BLUE are considered current, what difference BLUE YELLOW and BEIGE have is beyond me, but something tells me that is the cause.
Sounds good to me. My next question, what is robustness? is that the amount of games you have on us in your database? Also what matches qualify for my rating to go up and down? only certain tournaments? league matches? 1v1 streamed matches?
We only have 109 games for Melissa Herndon, and a player needs 200+ games to have an established rating
I don't know who Bastrop is.
Junior?
David Parker and David Henson we have.
We put tournament matches in the system, and as we add more and more matches amongst more and more players, the ratings get better and better.
In some regions we are doing pretty well right now, and in other regions we are thin. But again, the more we add the better it gets.
Minor edit: Jose Parica is listed in the USA Top 100 (#33 with 748) ...although that might be right given our citizenship standards
Let's make DOrcullo, CBiado and LVCorteza USA citizens and play the Mosconi Cup :grin:
How about Immonen, Appleton, and Homan?...I believe they're actual residents and
probably qualify for citizenship.
