Online "scrollable" leaderboards

It would be a nice thing if you could make leaderboards available online.

Something like

Thick As Thieves (May 2015)
--->Alliance
--->Individual
>Overall
>Slice 1
>Overall
>Bracket 1
>Bracket 2
>Bracket 3
>Slice 2
>Slice 3
>Slice 4
>Slice 5

The Meeting (May 2015)
--->Alliance
--->Individual
>Overall
>Slice 1
>Overall
>Bracket 1
>Bracket 2
>Bracket 3
>Slice 2
>Slice 3
>Slice 4
>Slice 5

You could allow searching for users by name to provide a link to the slice / bracket the user is in. And perhaps by alliance...

The Overall view would be a lot of data, so perhaps limit it to the top 100.

The view of each bracket could be paginated, perhaps something like the threads in the forum.

It would also be good if you could retain all the final results in a data warehouse, locking alliance memberships as they were at the end rather than load them from the live system.

:edit: replaced tabs with spaces. Sodding formatting.

    I was going to post something similar as there is a real need to be able to see the rankings for each slice.

    Realtime stats would be ideal but they are resource intensive both on the server and bandwidth.
    Perhaps every few hours or once a day is enough (for PvE, more difficult for PvP due to the more dynamic nature)

    In terms of linkage, as we can already see our mini ranking in game, could you not generate a "See full scoreboard" link in the mini rankings that opens in a web browser. You will already have the relevant userid and slice information so you don't really need much else in terms of identifying where/what information.

    With the website redesigned as well and holdng content this is a great opportunity to generate traffic to it.
