The problem is that the skill rating splits don't get progressively smaller, they're inconsistent, built around the player counts and not the skill ratings.

D1 0-25  (26)
D2 26-49 (24)
D3 50-58  (9)
D4 59-68 (10)
D5 69-82 (14)
D6 83-94 (12)
D7 95-100 (6)
D8 101+

If, for whatever reason 8 divisions had to stay, it would probably make more sense to do something like

D1 01-35 (35) 
D2 36-52 (17)
D3 53-67 (15)
D4 68-77 (10)
D5 78-86  (9)
D6 87-94  (8)
D7 95-100 (6)
D8 101+

if it was set out like that, i'd totally be d3, since i struggle with anything over 65, although since it goes on everything you've ever accomplished, and i used to play like mid 70s almost a decade ago, i'd still end up in d4, sucks but thems the breaks

also i can guarantee you as an ex d2 participant, their skill range is exceptionally higher, and can reach the 50s or even 60s if they were pushed, so this table looks pretty accurate
