How This Is Calculated

How much a creator's trending handicap index has dropped (improved) over the last 90 days, comparing their earliest and latest in-window index values from the same round-by-round trend line shown on their profile's handicap chart. This is the only leaderboard on the site that's explicitly time-bound rather than all-time, which makes it the closest thing here to a "who's playing well right now" ranking instead of a career one. It requires at least 3 rounds inside the 90-day window with a valid trend value on both ends, so a creator who hasn't posted a new video recently simply won't appear here even if their all-time numbers are strong — that's intentional, since there's nothing recent to measure a trend from. A big positive number means real, recent improvement; it says nothing about how good a creator's handicap actually is in absolute terms, only the direction and speed it's been moving.
