[NSRCA-discussion] Bakersfield Bash scores are on the NSRCA website...

[John Gayer]

It is a misnomer to call what was used normalization. It is actually a 
reversion to the pre-normalization scoring scheme of yesteryear. The 
only difference from the old days is that by "normalizing" to a perfect 
score, you can immediately see the average raw score per maneuver.
