Perfect Dark Champions
From The Elite Wiki
Perfect Dark Champions is the complete listing of everyone who has earned the #1 position in the point system on The Elite's rankings for Perfect Dark.
From the first day where online competition started on pdark.com on May 28th 2000, to June 30th 2000 included, there was no existing point system to rank people, so it is hard to determine who was the best player during that period.
The current point system with a maximum amount of 6000 points. But from August 1th 2000 to ~31st August 2017 Duel points were also included so the maximum used to be 6300, this point gap has been adjusted in the list to the current one.
