I really like the Points Above Average stat you guys used. That's the best skill evaluation metric yet. Good job :)

What I'd like to put in as a request for the future, is a stat that tracks average %ile. e.g., if you finished #9 in a match with 60 total predictions and #7 in another match with 70, your average %ile would be 12.5% (or 87.5%, depending on which direction is used). The points above average metric does a good job of lowering the biases of changing contest difficulty and changing scoring systems, but I think this would be slightly better. But of course this isn't important, and given the work involved might not be worth it. It would be nice to see though.

BTW, kawaiifan should have been #1 in the rankings :) Her points above average is just way too good.

Is there anywhere to see the rankings of that?
