Opinions on ranking system/ladder ranking

The ranking system on this site is very
Wonky. There are players who aren’t .500 that are ranked 2400? I have no idea how the ladder rankings are calculated? I never seem to be in the top 500 and there’s roughly only 85-110 players on at one time. If anyone would like to chime in I’d appreciate it.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
