Sharkscope only tracks tournaments and SnGs so hands and time aren't a factor. You could play one million cash game hands and Sharkscope will have zero data on you.
That explains it. I don't play tourneys and was wondering why despite a ton of hands, I wasn't showing up.
That's too bad, for a number of reasons. Namely, it seems like Global and Sharkscope would benefit from tracking cash games. If Global wants to assert itself as a legitimate destination for the U.S. market, tracking all action would be a big move towards legitimacy.
Tracking is obviously nice for strategic use, but it also shows that some players are indeed beating games there.... as well as allowing users to have a look into anything they feel is suspicious. (Bots etc.)
I can't quite get a read on how serious Global is. It's a fun place to play. Certainly has potential. But things like this have to be shored up IMO. (Given, this may be more of a Sharkscope issue than GP)
