It shows that I placed 89th, but actually placed 90th. just a weird little anomaly there.

Your tied for 89th place because the FSM rank is based on FSM Points.

Your monthly points are 1 point different 56.7 vs. 57.7 but when you add the other participants 1 point for improvement the FSM points are equal at 57.7.
When ranking the FSM it's based on the FSM points. They are the points all they way to the right of your name under FSM.

Pressure? Tell me about it. I will try my best, but I think it will surely go south from here. I will cherish, while I am there.

Crappy start but then again I knew it would be as I had little to enter for January. It will be an uphill battle from the middle of the pack now.

Congratulations Bin - great start!

We'll I messed this one up nicely - 160th. But then I used my lensbaby almost exclusively during January. So when it came to free study, I knew that I didn't have anything DPC friendly. Still, at least I'm ahead of those that didn't enter.

Just one question - why is Whiterook at 157th when his points are showing as less than mine?

Edit: Oops missed that last column - not quite sure what it means, but that's where the difference comes from.

The last column is the FSM points they are the combination of your monthly points + Improvement points. The FSM points are used to determine the rankings.
Here is the page that will explain the point system.

I completely missed the columns on the very far right myself. oops.

I guess we're just so eager to see points we don't look! lol.

I looked at what you were talking about when you stated your monthly score was higher than the user you were tied with but you were lower in the ranks.
Thanks for bring that up to me. Even though the both of you were tied in FSM points, tied for 89th with your monthly points being higher you should be above. The ranking remain the same with the exception that rule two is if two or more users are tied in FSM points the user with the most monthly points will be listed first.

Thanks,
Scott

Scott, I read the information above and have looked at the columns both left and right and I still am not getting Enzo's ( hotpasta ) ranking. Looks like it should be a step(s) higher? thx again for all the time and effort you put into this.

The rankings are determined by FSM points, the column to the far right.
Here is a screen shot with a few pointers. Hope it helps.
