The information I am looking for is in the order of "in the population of RHP players, 60% are rated better than you", or "here is a bell curve of ratings, you are currently here."
Check out my thread 'Player Tables'.

When you click on the player tables and scroll down to the bottom were it gaves the page numbers of players in order, It tells you right there how many players are on RHP. 18,487 as I'm writing this post.
See were you place on the tables and then you can figure out what percent you are in as compared to the rest of the players here at RHP.

I think the only way to figure out accurately where you are on a graph is to actually count all multiple ratings as 1 rating
70% less, so it looks that simply using your number the site gave you and the number of players on the site to figure out where you stand would be almost as usless as.......... what I just did!

Originally posted by rogers4Hmm, I don't think that is right, actually. It looks like when there's a tie it goes in order of who joined the site earliest.
It looks to me like your ranking is based both on your rating and the time you have had that ranking. When you go from, say, 1350 to 1360, you go to the bottom of the 1360 heap. So using the site ranking and total player number is probably as good as one can do.
Not that it matters much where you are in a group of, say, 50 tied people out of 18,000+ total.
Also, I'm not sure how considering all ties as a single person would be helpful. If there are 100 people all tied at exactly 2000, that is still 100 people that are ahead of me. If they are all at 2000 or spread out from 1950-2050, what difference does that make?
It would be interesting to see some kind of bell curve/distribution graph, but of course that's not available from the stats we're given.
