Oh, I did not know I could see raw scores.  This helps as I try to compare my flights to others from another contest.

Karl,
It is kind of hard to do, you can see all the scores on the web site even each pilot's raw scores. I think the best comparison would be the normalized scores but this is not perfect. There has been a lot of debate over normalization. You can at least get a pretty good idea.
You can learn a lot looking at the scores and seeing how consistent the pilots are etc. There is a lot to be said for consistency.

Yes, this makes sense.  So I really cannot compare my scores in Redmond contest to how pilots did in the Boise contest?

Ok the web site 2015 contest results are posted. I still have to update the district champ rules as per the new rules and post the current results. I will do this later this week I hope. Please check out the site and make sure I have this correct, let me know if you find any errors.
Karl,
Please reference this link from Redmond: http://www.nsrca.us/contest_results/2015/D8/Redmond/contestResults.XMLIt shows the standings and has detail you don't see on your score sheets. So here is how the scoring works:1.) We generally fly 6 rounds and you take your top 4 rounds and sum them to get your final score.2.) Your score sheets show your raw scores that have had the Kfactors applies. 3.) Your raw scores are normalized to the highest scoring pilot in each round. The highest scoring pilots gets 1000 points and all the other pilots are normalized to this highest score. So if you received a raw score that was 90% of the highest scoring pilot you would get 900 points. 4.) Your four highest rounds are then summed to get your final score. If you look at the link you will see lines through your rounds that were thrown out.5.) The highest possible total score is 4000 if you win 4 rounds.
I hope this makes sense??

So what is the connection between the scores I get handed to me after each round and the ones that determine the places?
