I'm a new player, so tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that at least some of these thing are bugs:
In the Elite division at this moment Tibbs1026 is number 1 with 1291 points, Hero Boy is also number 1, but second place with 1501 points. (I. e. Hero Boy is in the second row, but with Rank 1.) So maybe Hero Boy hasn't finished any league games in the last 2 months, but display is silly. If he hasn't finished any games recently, he should be dropped from the list, right?
The top of the Rookie division is even worse. Number 1 is Beerbohm Tree who was last active 382 days ago!!! He has less points than the other number 1 in the second row.
In fact if there are two number 1's, I'm pretty sure there should be no number 2 (like in number 4 in Rookie: two number 4, no number 5), but there is one. So I'm pretty sure it is a bug. The number 1 player somehow stuck in, even after the inactivity period is expired.
The third thing is not really a bug, but also quite important. I beleive that ranking is very deflated. At this moment, out of the first 93 (!) positions in Rookie there is only one player with at least 10 games. I.e. these players don't get promoted, because they haven't played enough games. Which also means that you can get promoted with ~930 points to veteran. Also, the last position player in Veteran is at 917 points. So the cut between Veteran and Rookie is around 920 points, yet the beginners receive 1000. So maybe historically 1000 points was an appropriate rank for a beginner, but I think this changed. Imagine a beginner (like me) shows up, and starts league games with people around 1000 points (but many games) thinking that they will play an interesting game, but then they get their ass kicked big time. Not the best way to encourage a beginner.

and there's only one sentry to protect them)
