[ QUOTE ] wow, didn't know db did that. why doesn't it show up for me? costs money? [/ QUOTE ] Use the contact us link on the site to get the info. I probably shouldn't discuss it much on 2+2 just because of their advertising policies. But my pride wouldn't let me stand by idly when someone says that OPR has a better interface.

[/ QUOTE ] Yea, I'm still not sure exactly what the point of a ranking system is. Just looking at the numbers in the sample link shown above should tell you what you need to know, especially after you look around for a bit. The bottom line is that poker is really not a rankable type event on an overall basis. Obviously you can say X player has the most profit or Y player has the best ROI, but you can't say Z player is the best overall. It's way too subjective and pretty much meaningless in terms of evaluating the people you're playing against.

My only reason to look at is to understand the range of events top players (money wise, ITM %, ROI % etc.) play and how often they win. I don't care about those funny stars. I also would like to see the top players (again money, ROI, ITM) based on a particular criteria, say all 55$ tourneys etc. To me pokerdb is only showing me "select data where player_id='x'" (ok, that's a messed up SQL statement, if you know what I mean). I would like to do all kinds of queries to get a sense of these stats.

Re: What are all of the different tournament result tracking sites?
ranking systems are useless, all these chumps who have way more volume than i do but half the skills get all the rankers and fanboys hard, when my ROI and ability to move up have clearly shown i am probably one of the five to seven best players in tournament poker today

I would like to query the database based on a particular criteria (like who has highest ROI in 55$ tourneys etc.) not those stupid stars.

As for interface - as an IT professional - I'd recommend finding 8-10 stats people look at the most and presenting them on a summary page (initial lookup) and let them drill down further if they want to. SharkScope kinda has a right idea interface-wise, IMO.

Especially at pocket 5s. It only ranks registered users, how gay. Im sure their are alot of players who are deserving but just don't have the exposure.
