World, continental, national: the three scopes

The same fighter can be #1 in Uzbekistan, #1 in Asia and #1 in the world, or #3, #7 and #19. How the scopes are derived from one calculation.

KBN does not run three ranking systems. There is one calculation per fighter, and the three scopes are filters over the same list: world shows everyone in the division, continental shows fighters whose country is in a continent, national shows one country.

Example: Professional Men's Kickboxing Welterweight
FighterCountryNationalContinentalWorld
Aleksei KarimovUzbekistan#1#1#1
Emre YılmazTurkey#1#1#2
James RobertsUnited Kingdom#1#2#3
Kim ParkSouth Korea#1#2#4
Omid RahimiIran#1#3#5
Zhang LiChina#1#4#6

Because the scopes are filters, a fighter cannot be higher in the world than on his continent. A continental number 1 is always a national number 1.
