There is no "best". Everybody's strategy has some weaknesses and strengths. The new leader board has a lot to do with activity, so it doesn't really represent every great sparrer, since they might not be currently active.

there is a best though, and it's the player who beats the consensus upper-tier sparrers most consistently it's never hard to see who the best is, it only becomes unclear when people intentionally avoid and hide away from others Player A beats Player B + Player B beats Player C doesn't automatically = Player A is better than Player C, don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand match-ups, but it becomes pretty obvious who the best is when there is enough people sparring and the sample size is big enough to where there are clearly dominant players a singles tournament wouldn't necessarily prove it either, but it'd be one step closer than just talking about it |

A singles tournament could easily be coordinated by players them selves (using guildhouses) but would take planning and good contact (skype or some other form of communication) and it would need a few weeks notice prior to set it up and get everyone's interest.

I finger well so I can hold a good session. Now, if you're a player who fingers well then your within that category! Another factor is Continuous Repetition. Basically, if you just keep fingering at a faster paste then the average player continuously. Last but not least, being Active if your one of those players that fingers actively, then your considered on this list!

Am I the only one who thought of this in a completely sexual way? Do you mean tapping the sword button? |

Fingering is a normal thing in the spar community. I think slackers, and people who don't take spar serious would turn that into a joke.

What does it mean? I'm pretty sure you will find out when you spar.

Yeah I've been an active sparrer for a while, never have I seen anyone use the term "fingering"
