Nice work, Simon. I especially like the SD ratings, since they bump me up 5 places when contrasted to the official ratings (where I somehow dropped out of the top 10. Bugger! /shakes fist).

My SD Rankings incorporate the result of every event you enter, whereas the Official Rankings count the best 12 results from a possible 18 events.

I think I have seen some people ask how the scoring system works, here is the explanation I have posted on the website, which I hope will clear things up for those who don't know how it works:

King of the Zoo Ranking Points: Each player receives two sets of points in each tournament they participate in. The percentage of the field each player beats is multiplied by a 100 to create their <font color="red">Rank Points</font>. They also receive a value based on Poker Stars TLB system, <font color="red">Stars Points</font>, which is dependant on how many entries there are and how much the buy-in is. All players finishing in the money receive 100% of that value, the remainder of the field earning 50%. The two figures are then added together to create their <font color="red">Total Ranking Points</font>.

The best 12 results from the 18 tournament calendar will count towards each
players ranking. Any player who participates in 13 or more events can discard
their worst results.
