Board Game Arena

Im not in some of the all-time rankings even though my ELO is hgher than many other .
So obviously there is a secret condition needed to appear in the ranking, but it doesn`t say what that preconsditionis anywhere on BGA, its not in the FAQ either...

You need to have played a rated game recently. I think it‘s the last 90 days or something.

If in the new lobby and on a certain game. Scroll down to the arena rankings. , upper right., click Tab. To change to, All time elo on that game. Where you can see the rankings for top 100 elo for that game. From there you should be able to see how close you are to getting ranked.... now, if you are talking about getting a top 20 or higher award. You have to be above 300 elo and have a lot of players rated. Nit sure of exact number of players.

I thought it appeared in the FAQ but I can't find it.

Anyway, the idea is that you disappear from the leaderboards after a certain time so that a player can't sit on their position forever (their ELO remains the same, but it won't appear in rankings anymore).

I think it is 60 days of inactivity.

Because the BGA FAQ is woefully incomplete. There are far less trivial things it's missing.
