Today's Top Gamers algorithm

It strikes me that the formula for the top gainers list should be tweaked a bit.
I assume it takes the player's current chip count, subtracts that from their chip count from start of the day, and then calculates the percentage gain based on that day-start value. But because refills are $1500, the formula should probably replace the day-start value with 1500 for any day-start value less than 1500. That would neutralize the buy-in factor and keep things like this from happening (taken from today's list -- not a typo): Razors $7,650, +30500% |

Counting percentage gain from an amount lower than the (free) buy-in just seems like an oversight -- making the list that much less useful or interesting, no?

I'll post the algorithm when I have a chance. I think it does something to avoid people with less than 1500 the day before. But that doesn't explain what you see there. I agree it needs to change |
