That's cool, can you show a table with how many people from each country have achieved #1/#2/#3 ranking? That is, which countries produce the most high ranking players. And if you could show how much time each country has held the #1 position too that would be interesting to see. Wonder how many high level players haven't been on to give a country location for themselves. Perhaps another row/column for unknown origins. Also can you add to your current table a column for how many players each represents?

How does rating inflation over time factor into things? Is there a chart that shows average and highest ratings over time?

Those stats mean very little :/

Poland's stats are by far the most impressive in my opinion. Lithuania is hhh+alts+braak+grizzlis. Most of the other top ones have less than 10 players too I would think. But Poland likely has the 2nd most on the 1v1 ladder, and so for them to be so high rated is really inpressive. It's like comparing taking #1 on the 1v1 ladder with 8 games compared to someone taking #4 with 200 games.

My country is 4th to last... Not to many hardcore Canadian players on here.

if you can correct the weird digits behind the . you can find out how many might play.
In case of The Netherlands i came on a 21/23 after the dot so the number of players with ladder rating in The Netherlands is somewhere in the table of 23

JSA is right, Poland's stats are v. impressive.

As for the UK, Arun if you have any patriotism whatsoever you will never join the ladder again.

Canada | multiple of 40
Australia | multiple of 13
Turkey | multiple of 10
Austria | multiple of 3

you make a huge mistake.
You forgot, that rating are all rounded in ladder, but in real they are all ,XX
You are assuming all rating are ,00

Your list, besides being useless, is wrong.

Then how are so many of the stats fizzer posted .0000 .3333 .6667 and .25?

Although the actual ratings do have hidden decimals, it looks like Fizzer didn't use them while doing these calculations.

i'm surprised there are 5 players from portugal on the ladder :S

Agree on the useless part (for most countries), but not on the wrong part, as Mulva & Ace Windu wrote it nicely:

This is from all portuguese players who played ladder after all so from the start of the game till the time he looked at it.
Besides that for portugal there was a .25 or .75 (to lazy to look back) so that means that for portugal the multiplier is 4 so at least 8 in total.

What about making some national ladder rankings? Wouldn't make much sense in countries with few players, but could be fun for players in countries with many players, and since Fizzer can pull this data together it might not be too much work

+1 Master Bjarke
Have a stats page that shows a leader board of highest ladder ratings globally and a seperate one for your own country.

Only 1 my alt was ranked in 1 vs 1 ladder :P And, jsa, what about "vadas". He is from Lithuania too

Edited 9/5/2014 18:28:32
