How does the sliding leaderboard work?
The Sliding Leaderboard is the leaderboard that factors into the results portion of the PocketFives.com World Wide Rankings. The Sliding PLB is also the sole source of information for all Sortable Rankings (i.e. rankings by country, age, and other criteria). The Sliding Leaderboard combines a player’s top 40 finishes, with a maximum of 24 from a single site. It spans the most recent 12 months for which PocketFives.com has data. Scores that are 3-6 months old will retain 75% of their original PLB value. Scores that are 6-9 months old will retain 50% of their original value. Scores that are 9-12 months old will retain 25% of their original value. For example, if a player wins a tournament and receives 200 PLB points for that win, after 3 months, that score will be worth 150 points, after 6 months, it will be worth 100 points, and after 9 months, it will be worth 50 points. It will drop off entirely after a year. NOTE: This only applies to the sliding leaderboard, NOT the yearly leaderboa
