I was trying to look at the most attempts anyone made by clicking the "attempt" button under blitz. However, I found that people with 1 attempt and 100% dominated the top of the list. Is it possible to make it so that your name can't get shown on the list until you have done 200 (or higher) problems?

Thanks  Smiley

Cklick on attempts a second time and they'll be sorted from highest to lowest.  The most blitz attempts is 49389 by joannies, at least at the time of this post.

I think the low # of attempts under blitz are due to folks who inadvertently attempted a blitz when they thought it was standard.  I've done this.  You can't really filter these out in the current format since standard and blitz ratings are shown together.

Hi tmr and chipsahoy,

There are two issues at play here.  As tmr pointed out the default sort order is a bit crazy, so after your first click it sorts from lowest number of attempts to highest, clicking again should sort from highest attempts to lowest which is what you want. I'll try and make the default sort order more sensible on the next UI update.

The second issue is that there IS a cutoff threshold for users to be shown in the list (its is based on RD rather than attempt number), however they only need to be active in either standard OR blitz, so as tmr has pointed out the list will show users that are active in standard but may have only done 1 blitz problem. Probably the best way of dealing with this is to have a selector that lets you choose if the list is going to be showing blitz OR standard and only users active in the chosen rating type will be shown.

Regards,
Richard.
