Change in the rapid leaderboard

Hi there,

some days ago you needed somewhere around 2520-2520 Glicko to enter the rapid Top 10.
No the limit is "only" 2484.
Was there any change to the regulations?

In the F.A.Q. it is said:
"How do ranks and leaderboards work?

In order to get on the rating leaderboards, you must:

1. have played at least 30 rated games in a given rating,
2. have played a rated game within the last week for this rating,
3. be in the top 10 in this rating.

The 2nd requirement is so that players who no longer use their accounts stop populating leaderboards."

But there have to be an additional condition:
For example:
1. Have played 4421 rapid games
2. Have played 8 rapid games the day before yesterday
3. My actual rating is 2504. So I should be at Nr. 8 at the moment.
But I am not ranked in the rating list. Is there a connection to the rating deviation? I have 75,34 in Bullet, 60,22 in Blitz, 60,02 in Classical but some bigger in rapid: 80,67.
Am I right that there a two ways to decrease that deviation:
- play regularly
- play equal strong opponents
?
The second point is in rapid much more difficult for me than, for example, in Blitz. With a 2284 Blitz-rating I am ranked 2704, so there are many players in my strengh (and higher) around.
To be better as 100% of the rapid players you have be rated 2225 points. I am 279 points ahead of this margin, so it is not that easy to play similar rated opponents.
By the way: It is not easyier to get points from lower rated opponents. Gaints are (for reasons) very small and 1800-players aren´ t weak at all.

Thanks for your information.

For a position on the leaderboard, your rating deviation has to be under 80.

"For a position on the leaderboard, your rating deviation has to be under 80."

It seems to me, not only for a position on the leaderboard, but in general to get a ranking. Some weeks ago I had asked why I have a stable rating but no ranking. No one could answer such a simple question. So I made this small experiment, closed my account and created a new one. In blitz and in rapid I got a stable rating after around 10-12 games. But a ranking I got only after 20-25 games and I saw that the deviation is now below 80. Obviously there must have been a change, getting a stable rating had always meant at the same time to get a ranking.

@XasperLiu
May I ask where you got this information from?

@Rochade_Augsburg
I guess this problem is even bigger in the variants. If you are top 10 in horde, you will have to play much weaker oppositon all the time. It was already a problem with the deviation of 109!

So this was updated in the FAQ only after I asked the question.
I quoted the FAQ of that time in the comment above.

The RD change is pretty new.

For me the same, I had looked there, too. And for my question with the rankings in general, I had also found nothing. I don't know if this can be found somewhere now.
