So I looked into it, unfortunately it's because I used that unusual method of computing ROI in the leaderboard (compute ROI individually for each tournament, and then average them all out.)
The reports do ROI the traditional way, and I think that's what users would want overall (total net winnings / total cost). But for the leaderboard it's a little unfair if I allow users to play, say, fifty tournaments at a $10 buyin, and then just play one tournament with a $10,000 buyin, win it, and all of a sudden have an ROI of like 999999% (even when they didn't cash in any of the original fifty tournaments, and all these were on the hard skill level).
So, I'm not sure what to do, because I don't like the fact that the ROI in the leaderboards is showing up differently than the ROI in the reports.
@SteveBlay - yeah, the different calculations are a bit confusing but your reason for the leaderboard method is solid. For consistency's sake, why not change the personal reports page to 'Average ROI' and also include a net profit number? Or include and average ROI and a gross ROI. So long as people can tell where the number is coming from, whatever you decide should be ok. Its when seemingly identical labels pull different data and yield different results that people have questions.
