I've noticed that the highest rank ever reached on funkysnooker is 994.0 by virtuoso107. So can anyone actually reach 1000 rank?

no it isnt officially due to drop off you can only reach 999.9 which would then be rounded up to 1000 but will still be classified as a virtuoso.

This i think is the case with ranks of below 500 points but im not sure

You've never reached that and never willlll

It is very hard to reach 1000, myself, boz_lad and steven/cue_wizard, have been to 996-997 and you hardly even get 0.2 for beating virtuosos. In my opinion it can't be done without cheating.

The edge modification
If you approach a very high ranking or a very low ranking your score is reduced.
Ideally, no players should be able to reach the extreme limits of the rankings system. If they do, the system is flawed as we can not differentiate between 2 players on the maximum.

Therefore it is (roughly) exponentially more difficult for players above 900 points to reach 1000 points.

An amount is reduced from scores, this is known as the edge modification

The actual amount is linear, at 900 points you lose 0%; at 950 points you lose 25%. If you get past 950 points it becomes even more severe, eventually resulting in a 100% loss of points at 1000.

The inverse occurs for users with scores below 600.


There you go. The reason why you can't get above 1000 and vise versa to get to 500.
