With the gradual shift in focus to video, the video boards are certainly growing in their importance @TerryPG and I only wish I had the time to join in that endeavour 
I’m sorry that your star didn’t make it onto the Top 100 Star Video Average Views/Day board however as stated in the readme, perhaps not so clearly, and I must add this was the subject of lengthy discussion with with everyone including @Mikeinthefalls respect to star photos many moons ago, to be included in this leaderboard, you must have updated your star video ’s views in the two months prior to the current. Hence as you suspected it’s because your star video is new. However, it’s great to hear that your star video has gone somewhat viral so this, we can expect to see it on the Average Views/Day leaderboard in the coming months. Hang in there!
ps: With some 80 individual boards, each having its own specific rules/constraints, I’m sure you will appreciate how intricate and involved it is to create them. With all this and the data of thousands of Local Guides, it’s easy for errors to creep in and this highlights the importance that everyone checks the leaderboards when they are posted so thank you for your part in this checking.
