The leaderboard uses an advanced algorithm to calculate your position. It was last used by Enron in their book keeping system. Roughly speaking the calculation is thus:
kills - deaths x N
where N = random number between 1 and 500

That does sound credible, i wouldn't be suprised if it was the case

wish i understood the leaderboard, might explain how i dropped from lvl 55 in tb to lvl 42 without losing a single match and beating the new no1 (twice) also always ending a match with a k/d of about 4. I've really stopped caring now; my accuracy is the only stat i'm interested in

I see you're 2nd in CTA as well. I went from 9th to 94th. Oh well it's only a game. GRRR.

Well I managed to drop from 2nd in strike whilst still winning games with good points scores and not being killed! I've started to look after each game to see if I can work out the formula being applied- nah not a hope! I think the valenzetti equation would be easier to work out! As you say F1rebrand, it's only a game.... Right I'm off to the virtual officers mess for a pink gin... Maybe that'll help to work it out.
I think even Stephen hawkings would struggle to figure them out so I guess we should just laugh at the random stupidity of them.
