Accidentally posted this in GAMEFAQs, good start >_>

This one will start off smaller and have a bit more stuff added to it.
What this is:
This is not a power ranking, but rather a list showing who is the most successful players that attend OH/KY tournaments. Want to improve your rank on this list? Attend more tournaments and place highly.
While this can be used as a sort of power ranking in that better players will end up higher up, it fails when you have players that attend sporadically and doesn't account for getting a hard or easy bracket, who you beat/lose to, and all those other variables that help determine skill. No one would care if someone played D3 and had a bracket full of Bowsers, but if he had a bracket full of Falcos and Olimars people might care. This ranking system does not; it only cares for the $ amount and the placement.
Some of you may find this to be uncomfortable because it "challenges" notions of skill. Don't take it too far to heart; one month of missed or attended tournaments can drastically change this list and the results of the list at any given point aren't really as important so much as the trends are.
At the end of every month (Starting with April) I will forever catalog the rankings of that month so we can maybe see some trends.
The forumla for the money part of this is simple: I figure out how much people win $-wise and add that to their name. That's it.
The formula for the rankings part is also simple! This might seem familiar to you:
1 - 40 pts
2 - 30 pts
3 - 20 pts
4 - 15 pts
5 - 10 pts
7 - 8 pts
9 - 6 pts
13- 4 pts
17 - 2 pts
25 - 1 pt
You might remember this as the points I used for the Midwest Circuit East. While this does not account for varying factors like attendance, who you beat, OoR competition, etc., that's okay! This point system is designed solely to encourage attendance, not to find skill. It takes skill to make the points, but someone that goes to 8 tournaments and places 9th will earn more points than someone who goes to only one tournament and places 1st (but not by much).
I AM CURRENTLY MISSING TOURNAMENTS ON THIS LIST. See the collapsed section below; if a tournament in Ohio/KY from February 2011 onward (1 month buffer from MK ban) exists, let me know and I'll add it.
Tournaments that fit this list:
-MK Banned
-Total Payouts or entry fee + payout %
-Results plainly listed
-Date and Location of tournament somewhere in the thread
-Ruleset must have some modicum of sanity (conservative or liberal stagelists are fine, but no items / FFA / banned stages only / iron man / other experimental stuff)
-Must have at least 16 players (16 singles entry or in the case of doubles 8 teams)
Tournaments used so far (dates may be approximate):
Okay, halfway through doing Doubles for this I said "eff that". It's a lot of work and it basically is me and Kel winning every event that doesn't have OoR competition followed by whatever top two singles players are teaming together, and people don't have consistent partners. People need consistent partners to do well.
