The reason there is a disparity is because FFR allows multiple people to have the same rank on a file. Say you have 7 people who each have AAA'd all but one file. Each of them would have an avrank very close to 1.0. However, someone among those 7 has to have a slightly worse avrank than the other 6, so their ranking on the avrank leaderboard would be 7 even though they have an avrank that is 1.x

If FFR did leaderboards the same way osu does then this disparity wouldn't exist, but I think most people here prefer FFR's leaderboard system over osu's.

Edit: Actually I'm dumb. Let's look at another example of how this can happen:
Let's assume FFR has 10 files in-game and 5 members. The following are their levelranks:
Person A
Song 1: Rank 1
Song 2: Rank 1
Song 3: Rank 1
Song 4: Rank 1
Song 5: Rank 1
Song 6: Rank 5
Song 7: Rank 5
Song 8: Rank 5
Song 9: Rank 5
Song 10: Rank 5

Person B
Song 1: Rank 2
Song 2: Rank 2
Song 3: Rank 2
Song 4: Rank 2
Song 5: Rank 2
Song 6: Rank 2
Song 7: Rank 2
Song 8: Rank 2
Song 9: Rank 2
Song 10: Rank 2

Person C
Song 1: Rank 3
Song 2: Rank 3
Song 3: Rank 3
Song 4: Rank 3
Song 5: Rank 3
Song 6: Rank 3
Song 7: Rank 3
Song 8: Rank 3
Song 9: Rank 3
Song 10: Rank 3

Person D
Song 1: Rank 4
Song 2: Rank 4
Song 3: Rank 4
Song 4: Rank 4
Song 5: Rank 4
Song 6: Rank 4
Song 7: Rank 4
Song 8: Rank 4
Song 9: Rank 4
Song 10: Rank 4

Person E
Song 1: Rank 5
Song 2: Rank 5
Song 3: Rank 5
Song 4: Rank 5
Song 5: Rank 5
Song 6: Rank 1
Song 7: Rank 1
Song 8: Rank 1
Song 9: Rank 1
Song 10: Rank 1
As we can see, Persons A and E have an avrank of 2.5
Person B has an avrank of 2.
Person C has an avrank of 3.
Person D has an avrank of 4.

However, the following would be their ranking on the avrank leaderboards:
Person B: 1
Persons A & E: 2
Person C: 4
Person D: 5
