Hmmmm...interesting piece of information.  However, with a cut-off at 10,
and with scores piled up in the upper range of the 0-10 span, a more useful
statistic would be the median score.  In other words, we don't have a normal
distribution, so a few low scores would drag the mean down
disproportionally; so the median is a better estimate of the center of the
distribution.  Sort of the reverse of looking at the "average" income in the
US, where the few billionaires pull the mean disproportionally up.

Also, how did the total number of scores entered end up not being a multiple
of the number of maneuvers -- different numbers of judges for different
classes or phases (e.g., P1-F1)?

While I know these are "fun facts," and they are interesting and I really
appreciate seeing them, I would still like to know the median, if
possible...

Thanks for sharing, Scott!
