What is the current total number of ranked players worldwide, that IFPA tracks ?
I seem to recall a # like ~ 36,000 (?), which would have been from years ago.
Even if correct, surely that number would be substantially larger by now ?
(Is there a single link that pulls all that up ?)
I already know where to find the info on applicable tourneys in which I have participated . . .

Thanks all for those answers.

Follow-on question: Aren't the rankings using something like a logarithmic progression ? That is to say, with a BIG relative difference in standing, over and above the at-first-glance disparity of -- say -- 500 points in the ranking, between any two players ?

I'll check that link, thanks.

What I was getting at was a (possible) numerical progression along the lines of the Richter Scale, where -- for example -- a 4.6 looks to be not that much stronger than a 4.2, though in fact represents a huge difference. But Bob's comment suggests that it's a lot more complicated than that.
