Historical PDGA World Rankings - Why the gap?

[ChrisWoj]

On the PDGA website there's a gap in the World Rankings between 2004 and 2011. Anyone know why this is? I feel fairly certain that the PDGA was doing those rankings during that period.

I was trying to explain to someone how the rankings used to be based on B Tiers or higher IIRC and how players would have different ratings in the World Ranking line vs their actual rating. (Marty Peters was the example I was looking for - as I believe there was a time he had a good 30-40 point gap btwn his overall rating and what was listed on his spot in the World Rankings)

Had to use Google search to find it:

I started the World Rankings with Yearend 2005. A player's World Ranking Rating was calculated as a straight (unweighted) average of their round ratings (all tiers) during the 12 months prior to the date the World Rankings were calculated. This way, the World Ranking Rating for all players included only rounds from the exact same time period.

Kinda fun to see Matty O ranked #5 way back in 2005.

I am certain there was a time when the World Rankings downloadable document contained ratings on B Tiers or higher. Am I mixing this up with a different ranking the PDGA put out? Also do you have a place I can find those rankings from 2005-2010?

I gave the link in post #2 for MPO WR from 2005-2010. Player and Rookie of the Year points were awarded for final rank in B-tiers and higher.

Upon closer examination the documents you shared support what I thought - B Tier or higher. The asterisk doesn't mean the same thing for all years. On 2007 rating is calculated on only B or higher. On 2010, and 2006-08 at least
