Why do I have a trophy?

I recently played a correspondence game with another player who had a higher rating then myself. That player did not have a trophy, whereas I have a top-10 trophy. It's not that I mind, but I'm curious -- do you get to keep a trophy even after your rating drops below the leaders?
Well, that's pretty odd then. Why the heck do I have a trophy?
I'd guess you need to have your RD under a certain number in order for your rating to be considered "active". Maybe he hasn't played enough games?
Cause you have a top 100 correspondence rating.

Once more people play the variant, you will lose the trophy. Don't worry.
That would make sense. Pity the rating deviation isn't actually shown anymore, though with enough math wizardry, I'm pretty sure someone could still guess it by looking at how much their rating has changed after games.
#5, No, I see a top-10 trophy on my page. Bug perhaps then?
Oh, My apologies.

Maybe it's a bug. Or maybe you really are in the top 10. It is a fairly new feature, and not many games have been played yet.

When KOTH was new, even having a 1700 rating made me a top 100 player, so it's feasible that a rating over 1900 for a new variant could be among the top 10.

Yeah, I think I was one of the first people who started playing a ridiculous amount of simultaneous correspondence games (I'm at 32 right now).
Congrats though. That is still quite an achievement, while it lasts. ;)
