Ranked #1 in [customized salmagundi]

[mmbt0ne]

Alright, I'll give it a shot...

Paintball (speedball/airball, not scenario/rec)
Stringing a tennis racket
Longest drive

I think those 3 would certainly do it. I'm mostly worried about getting the paintball players ahead of me out since it's probably the smallest subset. I can't see many of them being able to string tennis rackets period, let alone at the rate I can. Assuming that somewhere out there someone can do that, I think I can outdrive them. I'm not a monster off the tee, but I could get 320 or so, which should be good against almost 100$ of paintball players anyway. I'm not even that strong, just tall and thin so I can get enough club head speed to do some damage assuming I actually make good contact.

[chess, bowling, limit hold'em]?

According to FIDE my world chess rank is 9226. But this is misleading as there must be many players better than me who do not get the chance to play in FIDE rated events.

I have no way of knowing my rank at bowling or limit hold'em. Neither will be terribly good, but how many do all three? I would also have to come out of bowling retirement to use it.

I might give you a run here. It's been a while since I played chess much but by virtue of having studied a bit my worldwide rank has got to be good. All those illiterate, starving, non-chess playing people in the world push is closer in percentile even though I suck.

Bowling I think there's a decent chance I rape a lot of you.

Limit hold'em, again, all the donks push us close together, percentile wise, even though I know in 2+2 terms you are a way better player than I am.

I think either one of us could add a skill set to claim this bracket from the other, mine would probably be "soccer goalie"

The good thing about having chess in this for me, is that it doesnt take much to go from a rank of 10,000th to 10,000,000th, especially because of all the Russian players. Is it percentile that matters, or just adding up your ranks?

Correct, if we do world rank, you own me... percentile and I think I have the edge.

If you stipulate thumbless bowlers, I start to become a juggernaut.

percentile should be the same as world rank if by percentile you mean the percentile of human beings you are better than. if by percentile you mean "percentile of human beings who already compete in this event regularly you beat" then the two would be different but i don't think that is what the OP intended.

ie if you are in the top 10% then you are necessarily ranked within the the top 600 million human beings regardless of the event. you are ranked in each event relative to the same total population which is 6 billion.

Not that I know of. Their world ranks in chess are 1285 and 7937 respectively. But if they are not bowlers that will put millions between us there.
