Scoreboard: getting players around my score

Hello,

I would like to implement a “show players around me” (in terms of score) feature in my game using the Scoreboard API, but I’m not sure if this is possible with the current functionality.

I know I can:

  1. get the top N players (where N is not under my control, and the API doc says “Typically ten or fewer” - what does this mean exactly?)
  2. get the ranking and score of the current player

My questions are: why is there no way to get the entire scoreboard, or at least a number of entries that can be controlled programmatically? Is showing players around a specific position simply not doable with the Scoreboard API? Or is there some way I overlooked?

Thank you
