I assume this is because they haven't finished a league game since this season started. GreatGonzales, you might consider something to adjust for this in your accounting. If someone high-ranking disappears from the list, maybe estimate a rank based on known rankings before and after.

Hmm. Well, if you look at my spreadsheet (which I am about to post) you'll see I keep track of peoples' "most recent" rank. So when, for example, Javaseed comes back, his rank shift will be compared to the last time we had a rank recorded for him (11/30 I believe). But you're suggesting that I somehow adjust someone's rank because I happen to know that Alvendor has been removed due to inactivity, but his true rank is still very high, thus displacing active players' true rank. I could attempt to do this but it would be very complicated... I would have to adjust everyone's rank according to other players on record who have a higher "most recent" rank, and also have that impact be affected by the currency of the rank. For example, Javaseed would have a bigger impact than someone like [Admiral77], who just came out of retirement.

I dunno, sounds like this would be more trouble than it's worth. Unless you have a simpler way of handling it.
