How to read this split
Combine split pages are not ranking pages. They are event-reference pages built from the official invite list already stored locally. A small split, such as goalies or international invitees, can have only a handful of players and still be useful because the question is whether the player was invited, where he is listed, and how that context connects back to consensus rank and season rows. Use the aggregate combine page for the full list and the board or season database for sorting.
