The current top 10 list is a pretty pointless exercise. None of the contributors have been to more than a couple of them so how are you getting a fair comparison, particularly with differences in local laws. What is usefull (and which we get plenty of discussions regarding) is "I am traveling to (place), what is the best there?"
The regions should include enough clubs so that being on the top 10 But it they should be concerned with likely destinations rather than specific borders. So for example Tuijuana should be included with San Diego because how often do we hear "I was in San Diego and decided to go actoss the border..." In California apart from the San Diego/TJ top ten there would be Northern and Southern California Top 10 lists
Similarly there should be a top 10 list for the greater New York Area that would include New Jersey suburbs but not upstate New York or the rest of New Jersey. Texax would have a top 10 for Dallas/Fort Worth, one for the Greater Houston area, one for Austin to San Antonio, and one for the rest of the state.
It might take some fine tuning and feedback to get the regions right, but once we do so the results will be much more usefull to clubbers.

inno123- It's not rocket science, Tuscl already has the capability that you suggest. Click on "San Diego" under Calif. clubs section- they have some TJ clubs listed. Other cities have same capability, with COI/OC/Valley clubs being listed under Los Angeles, in order of distance from downtown Los Angeles. Ditto for Pasco County clubs under Tampa.
As for pickin the best one in area: How difficult can it be to write down all clubs in area with overall grade of 7 or more, and reading more detailed reviews for such clubs to narrow down your choices? Works for me............

@minnow: What does "write down" mean? :)

Minnow, I wasn't suggesting that is wasn't possible to work around the lack of regional top 10 lists, but part of what makes a good site better is not having to do a work-around to get to what you are looking for.

md- If you've completely forgotten (or never learned) how to write the old tech way (pen and paper), can't help you, bud.
inno- The T10/100 system is an interesting, yet flawed/superfolous system to start with. Why further complicate the issue by creating more workload for founder. Such as choosing how to define a region. Limit it by a certain radius? Some "regions" may not even have 10 clubs worth getting excited about. Even if results were tabulated, many users would still dig further into reviews to cull out the features that are important to THEM ( nudity vs topless, alcohol vs juice bar, private VIP vs open LD's, food service, etc, etc.).
I didn't catch it at first,but how do you know that none of the contributors have been to more than a couple of the top 10 clubs? Did you read the hundreds of reviews on each of the 10 clubs, and check the background of every reviewer? I've been to several of the T10 clubs in different categories. Several reviewers have a diversity of clubs under their belt, if only 1 club happens to be T10, so what??? Non issue, afaic.

@minnow. Even if a small number of contributors are very well traveled they are outnumbered by the vast majority who are not.
If Founder did not want to go through the effort of defining wha was a region he could simply define nodes such as downtown Los Angeles. The software will then pick the 100 closest clubs (which it can already do) take the top ten in each category, and then present them in the same manner as the national top 10 is presented now. TADA! Any number of usefull top ten lists with miniscule programming effort. And again, sure you could do the same thing yourself, but what makes this site popular, particularly on mobile devices, is quickly asking the question 'what's the best nearby?'.

thanks guys. I added it to the city pages.
the 10 best rated clubs in a 45 mile radius are displayed. In some cases there are not 10 that meet are criteria.

F - define default listing. ie Atlanta Cheetah is highest rated club but is only #7 on the default listing. Not that I disagree. Cheetah sucks.

Founder dude, you rock, and I really like the implementation of it.

Default listing is simply the way they come out of the database
No sorting at all

The code may need some debugging. The top list for San Francisco only listed three clubs. They were I think the three best, but clearly there are more than thre clubs within 45 miles of SF.
