This is part of the mechanism to encourage active play an discourage resting on one's laurels. It is not good enough to have once been number one, you must keep your record current. Presently you must complete a game in the competition type (e.g., 5-player indiv, 4-player team, etc.) you wish to be ranked at least once per month. This is ambitious for now with just our testing players but with the site in full swing it will be reasonable.
