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

Yes, the "magical" number of recent reviews/reviewers for a club to make that listing used to be between 8 & 13 (most likely 12), but I'm sure that's it been changed (upped) since late 2008.
"But it only has 35 reviews."
It's not really the number of reviews...it's the number of individual reviewers that counts. The rating that a club gets is dependent on things such as the number of reviews from reviewers with a "long" membership (which are weighted more than newbies), the number of reviews that are "recent" (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.
You should post this as a thread on the discussion board...as you'll likely get more responses that way.

Thanks, Mister G. I've cut-and-pasted my question, along with your response onto the Discussion portion of the site.
