The lowest score people can have is 500. If a player is banned they are stripped of all points, so the there'd be a lot of banned players on such a list. Wouldn't want the banned memorialized.

Can someone with 500 use those points to buy into tournaments?

Ha. Good question. Probably yes, they would just remain at 500 after the buy-in.

If it's true, we might want to change that in the future though..... :wink:

EDIT: I mean, not so that they would go below 500, but just so the wouldn't be able to buy-in.

Well, at 500 points, even beating a brand new player with 1225 gets you nearly 75 points, so it's tough to stay there long.

What is the lowest score for a player on this site, ever? Would there be an interest in the scoreboard reflecting the one two or three lowest scores? Might be a badge of honor...

Now maybe instead of lowest score......if we went with most losses, or highest loss percentage......that would be a good Lantern Rouge

LOL.

What would a highest loss percentage look like? Fewest defeated opponents divided by games played? I imagine the percentage would be zero, and the tie-breaker would be who has the largest denominator.

How about the worst average dice roll during a game? (total value of all dice you rolled in the game/number of dice)
Players who have been cursed by the dice gods need something to look forward to...
