In a statistics system for online console-based gaming, a user's rating is added to the system by inserting an identifier of the user into an appropriate location in a rating table. The user is also assigned to one of multiple rating groups, and a count of users associated with that rating group is modified accordingly. A relative position of the user in the assigned rating group is also associated with the user, and the relative positions of any other users assigned to that same rating group are modified accordingly. A user's ranking is retrieved by identifying which of the multiple rating groups the user is assigned to and generating a count of how many users are assigned to groups with higher rating ranges than the user's group. The user's relative position within the user's group is then added to the count to generate the ranking of the user. <IMAGE> |
