Я бы оставил «текущий майор» в таблице мест и обновлял его время от времени.Пример (я понятия не имею, верна ли модель данных):
drop table place;
create table place(name varchar(20) primary key, major varchar(20));
insert into place values('NY', null), ('LA', null);
create index idx_p_m on place(major);
drop table visits;
create table visits(user varchar(20), place varchar(20), points int, day int);
create index idx_v_p on visits(place, day desc);
insert into visits values
('Ben', 'NY', 1, 100),
('Ben', 'LA', 3, 102),
('Joe', 'NY', 2, 103),
('Joe', 'LA', 1, 104);
-- just to prove this is efficient
explain select user from visits v where v.place = 'NY'
and day > 90
group by user
order by sum(points) desc
limit 1;
update place p set major =
(select user from visits v where p.name = v.place
and day > 90
group by user
order by sum(points) desc
limit 1);
select * from place where major = 'Joe';
select * from place where name = 'LA';
