This obviously doesn't work if you are in group A so you need to scroll down to find out how many their are (or ask someone who isn't in group A to calculate it for you).

At least the calculation lets you know how far you might have to scroll. A search feature for players names would be really good but if you can add them as friends in game then it helps. Shame that has to be through a social network connection. With Group A on all tracks and nobody to ask, it's a pain inthe ass ... My curent overall standing is 716. Group B overall is 687. What doees the diff of 29 mean? Have always been bad at maths. Simple math(s) lesson. Percentages seem to confuse a lot of people, all you need to remember is that percent actually means per hundred so is effectively a hundredths fraction. So ... So, if there are 29 people in group A and group A is the top 0.1% then 29 / 0.1 * 100 = 29,000.
 * to calculate a percentage you multiply by the percent number and divide by 100
 * to calculate the original value from the percentage you divide by the percent number and multiply by 100
