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.<br>

<div>I also just completed an analysis of what would have
happened if we'd normalized to best instead of to
perfect, the only class where it would have made a
difference in final placement was FAI Silver (MP15)
where Jon's win in one round and 2nd place rounds were
closer to Sean's scores than Dale's 2nd place rounds
would have put him about 30 points over Dale.</div>

FAI F, Prelim carry over is shown as

round -- for some reason the scoring
program is showing that as round 0.<br>
