	Since people pay attention to the rankings I figured they'd also be interested ranking changes throughout the year. Granted, some of the more dramatic changes in ranking can be attributed to a top player or team playing a tournament for the first time than actual quizbowl gameplay related matters. I agree it does seem somewhat cluttered but reducing the font size has helped. The bottom row is supposed to track teams entering and exiting the top 25 and it contains a bunch of wikitex I didn't bother to delete.
