It would be like if you tallied up the greatest nfl champions. The Minnesota Vikings wouldn't get put on the list for losing in 4 superbowls. Only teams with a championship would and the teams with a finals appearances would be irrelevant.


What have Rican and Wigsplit won?
Neither Rican nor Wigsplit have won anything, the only criterion for making the list as it currently is is achieving at least 2 of the things mentioned, but I think it might be worth changing it so that you have to have won at least 1 thing.

With 2nd place people, as I understand it they aren't getting their points for losing the final but for making it to the final, which is arguably just as hard as winning it. There've been quite a few instances where someone has gone through a murderer's row to make it to the final and been the favourite and then either due to irl circumstances or choking or something else they've lost it at the final hurdle; although they obviously don't deserve the same points as a winner I think this is worth recognising because just making it to any final is still a very difficult achievement. That's just my view though.
