Also worth adding you won't be on the Global leaderboard unless you are in the top 50,000 players which at the moment is a rating of 1636.
How Leaderboards Work?
Still really confused as to what the tiebreaker stat is? I seem to be high up the list whatever my rating is (each time) but not sure how I am achieving it?
As far as I'm aware there's no available information on how ties are sorted.
This is the only available article on Leaderboards

Thanks for the response, that's why I'm trying to figure it out. I think whatever the sorting factor is; it's something consistent. As oppose to say the decimal points after rating points. Rating points are probably whole numbers and not rounded?
I am thinking some sort of calculation based on who you win / draw / lose to?
Highest win and max rating don't seem to be involved. Perhaps your more recent performance is taken into account. Maybe something like Glicko or GlickoRD?
I have now figured out leaderboards are only for people who have played a format in the last 3 months. Also if you click global, then find your country, then click page 2. In the address bar you can change the page= to any number you want to find your name / ranking on the leaderboards without having to click through every page...
What I want to know is this. If 100 players have rating 1335 at Rapid for example in my country. How does the leaderboard order them? Are rating points rounded? (I suspect not) What is the tiebreaker statistic used on the leaderboards to decide how these players are ordered (what their ranking # is)?
If I am 1335 , how can I be better than other players who are also exactly 1335?
