      Are their lists usually so ****** or is there something wrong like they've been hacked?

        There's clearly something wrong. I doubt it's a hack, probably just some trouble updating the algorithm or something.

            Those rankings are almost as bad as the ones LoadedWraps regularly comes up with!

              There's definitely an issue with their programming. Although lord knows how even faulty programming can come out with Jeremiah Williams (15-13, 47 years old) as the #5 HW.

                Nah, their algorithmns generally give results which you can at least understand. Could be they're doing some tinkering though. They've probably changed the way they calculate their scores maybe 4 or 5 times in the last 5 years, but I think the last time was only a few months ago which would make it a little strange for 'em to be messing with it again so soon though.

                  Have to be something along those lines I'd guess. Can't really see a hack. Could just be someone doing a little tinkering. It's clearly not completely random, most of the high rankers are unbeaten or with maybe one loss, just a lot of em also ain't fought anyone worth a damn. Curious.

                  Apparently you can access all the data through github though, which I didn't realise til recently and given the amount I use the damn thing and the sometimes pretty arcane searches I try to do could actually prove kinda useful.
