Does anyone know the criteria for a club making the Top 100?

CTQWERTY
Obviously there's the rating average.    But is there a certain number of reviews required before a club makes the list?     I believe there's one club on the list of the Top 10 with only 50 reviews.   I ask because I see Big Al's in Peoria, IL. would debut at #8 (or 9) nationally with it's 8.24 average.   But it only has 35 reviews.    Thanks, CT

<span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Yes, the &quot;magical&quot; number of <i>recent</i> reviews/<i>reviewers</i> for a club to make that listing used to be between 8 &amp; 13 (most likely 12), but I'm sure that's it been changed (upped) since late 2008.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">It's not really the number of reviews...it's the number of individual <b>reviewers</b> that counts.&nbsp; The rating that a club gets is dependent on things such as the number of reviews from reviewers with a &quot;long&quot; membership (which are weighted more than newbies), the number of reviews that are &quot;recent&quot; (from no more than around 2 years old or so), and a whole bunch of other things that founder likes to keep secret to prevent abuse, which is his right...since it's his website.<br />

You should post this as a thread on the discussion board...as you'll likely get more responses that way.<br />
