Unless I'm being incompetent I think it's pretty easy to estimate them (provided the stats are provided by a useful op )

1974-1 are B- or better out of 19000ish players included in our stats (D+ or better players).
So B- is the top 10%.
1100-1 are B or better so about top 6%.
432-1 are B+ or better so about top 2%.

This post was a good effort, but it must be revised.
Too much crap surrounding the important numbers.

... and that B+ thing makes me wonder.

Then it's just mind blowing to think that people who play on iccup are already so much better than those on bnet! Be proud for at least discovering iccup!

ok I just thought of how to figure out the percentiles.. doing that now

it depends on where you want to make the cutoff, but simply divide your rank by the total number of players?

that would tell you the percentage your rank occupies in relation to other ranks. This is different:

A good demonstration is this: 48.141% of people above D are D+. It doesn't make sense to say that a D+ player is in the top 48.141 percentile of players above D (a D+ player is obviously in the top/bottom 100 percentile of players above D)

yeah it is. If it wasn't then D would be about 96.5% of the accounts.

there are 550,000 registered iccup users and 63000ish registered this season. about 42,000 D rank this season or something

XY chart a better representation of the data in my opnion.

Across all ranks (using Stroggos's data set)

D+ and higher (using OP's data set)

assuming that every single D ranked player should be D+ or higher then yes...B- and higher is about 10%. However, using my example posted earlier 50% of D ranked people should be D+ or higher assuming they play a reasonable amount of games.

3.35% are B- and higher if we include D but if only 50% of D rank players are meant to be D+ and higher then B- and higher should be 6.675% roughly

I just changed the title because the players is actually "Midian", so it shouldn't be a problem.

I was thinking ... in my opinion, as a math college student, this thread follows wrong ideas...

Correct me if I'm wrong but, wouldn't it be better if you divided the sum of points of every single player with 1+ game and then divided for the total number of players?

Following my idea you should be capable of balancing the real ability of players... since a 2500D+ is for sure a better player than a 2000D+...
The way you did it, dividing the number of players in half, just considers a A+ equivalent to a D-. Imagine it like a metal bar that you wish to balance in way it wont fall, if one side is heavier than the other, you just can't balance it on the middle.

Sry for bad english, hope I helped xD
