I’m rated at 973 currently and noticed that I’m equivalent to being better than 50% of all other members (I think that’s how I’m understanding it anyway), so as pretty much a noob I’m curious as to what percentage higher players are compared to everyone else at say 2000 or 2500+, it seems that only a small amount of members must be in the highest bracket in that case. Is this correct??

You can kind of see that data on the global leaderboard pages for each pool.

I'm at the 89.8 percentile at my low rating in blitz. 2000 rated players are easily in the 98-99th.

Based on my opponents I think it works like this: 2000 is around 98-99, 2100 is around 99-99.5, 2200 around 99.5-99.8, 2300 around 99.8-99.9, 2400 around 99.9-100, and 2500+ around 100.
