Possible to show cutoff times for server types. #23

Hello,

is it possible to get the cutoff times for the different cotd server types in regards to trophies. Basically the top10% cutoff time, top25% cutoff time and top50% cutoff times. Currently you just show the div1 cutofff time.

It would also be nice, if the trophies are listed in the KO rounds.

Seeing the cutoffs for the server types would certainly be interesting for some players, but I think that seeing them during qualifying could incentivize smurfing.

Take this COTD from 2024-08-01 as an example. There are 2760 players filling 44 divisions with these cutoffs: Type 1: 64 (41.587) Type 2: 256 (42.974) Type 3: 704 (45.154) Type 4: 1408 (48.860)

Let's say my PB is currently a 44.5, comfortably placing me in Type 3, but still far from Type 2. I'm on a good run about 1 second ahead of my PB just before the qualifying ends. Do I really want to get that 1 second PB, jump from div 10 to div 6 and make my life harder in knockouts with the same rewards? I know this is more of a flaw in the system Nadeo provided with the trophies, but as long as they don't change the way it works, I don't think this should be a feature in the plugin.

Showing the cutoffs after the qualifying concluded would be a nice addition though, as well as the mentioned display of rewards for the placement in the division.
