Hear ye! Hear ye! A grand day in the Squirearchy history!

It was just discovered that the Squirearchy has made it upon the Worldwide
Dauphine Croquet Ranking board! And we have a player that is ranked in the
top 10 of the world!

On Saturday morning, I dutifully entered the data from all our matches that
fit withing the Dauphine system.
Here's how our games fit. Only games with 4 or more people count. A regular
match in the Squirearchy is called a 1/2 Final. A minor game in the
Squirearchy is called a 1/4 Final. A major grand slam tournament in the
Squirearchy is called a Full Final.

Given those parameters here are the current boards (not including the minor
games played on saturday, nov 10).

The method used to calculate these points is based on the official method of
ranking in professional croquet and chess. It's based on who you beat. So if
you beat someone who is very high in the rankings, you will get more points.
If you beat someone very low in the rankings, you will get very little
points.
