There is never going to be a "top list" of servers with positions
1,2,3,4 etc, there is just going to be x-count of servers that are
"good" to be assigned players for.
There are couple of console commands that will make you log output to
logfile and set spew level to maximum. I cant remember or check the
command now, type find spew into console to search for it. Anyway, if
you set them on, do a quickplay search, you can look for the logfile
later on if your servers are on top of the list or not or even among
the selectd from which the server where you will be put into after
search completes. Basically its self explanatory after you look that
file output. Propably the best meter there is.
