What about promotions? Every time you get promoted your point total drops. I was placed in bronze, and I have worked my way all the way up to Platinum. Going by your math I have 945 points - 890 bonus pool + 28 points unused = 83. The best platinum player in my division only has 1129 - 890 +9 = 248. And the 2nd ranked one has 1031 - 890 + 53 = 194. That seems really really low, especially given 165-132 55.6% for the best, 138-116 53.9% for the second, and 153-135 53% for me.

Due to the drop of points (or gain of points for that matter) when moving up or down from a division, another rule of standardization is probably needed to take into account of this phenomena (if this idea somehow gets going)
Assuming that when you move up a division, u lose 100 points, a sample standardization correction maybe as follows:
Bronze +0 pts
Silver: +100 pts
Gold: +200 pts
Plat: +300 pts
Diamond: +400 pts
Maybe with this rule, (with adjustments), this could help compare players in different leagues.
Then again I might be opening another can of worms here.
