I would like to know why the same person "Vern Catheter" is always # 1 on the bowling scores. This has been going on for the longest time. The score is supposed to change when the last person who gets 300, name goes to the top of the list and so on. Yet this person is always #1. When I get 300 after this person does, I am supposed to #1 and the person who gets 300 after, then becomes #1. It would be nice if the people in charge of this site would correct this. But then again, they just don't seem to care. |

The Leaderboard doesn't actually work that way any more. As far as I can figure out if you have the game name at the top of the leaderboard and are on the "Today" segment then it lists in the reverse of the alphabetical order. If you switch to the "all games" segment and scroll down to your particular game it lists the winners in true alphabetical order. I think the "This Week" score is also listed in reverse alphabetical. If you look for the score under "all time" it is listed in some other order, perhaps having the first person who achieved the score listed first. For instance: A few minutes ago in Pool I tied Bobskat's top score of 9,480. Under the Pool "Today" score I am listed first because my name "Sparkel" falls alphabetically after "Bobskat", but if I switch to "All Games" on the leaderboard and scroll down to "pool" he is listed as the first place holder. If you go to "All Time" on the leaderboard under "Pool" both of us have achieved a high score of 9,530 but only "Bobskat" and three others are listed. I assume these are people who first achieved the score as it is not in any alphabetical order either forward or reverse and I know he made the score before I did. Its all very confusing and I supposed its done to make things fairer. I wish the Leaderboard was as it used to be with 20 people listed. |

Upon looking at the Bowling scores I see they are not following the rules I'd posted above so I can't imagine what dictates who is listed first when the top scores (or lower scores) are the same. It's a mystery. One would think it would be a cut and dry method instead of arbitrary. I know you must find it aggravating as I do. |
