Honor Roll 7W97 by Richard Pavlicek

Bidding Poll Leaderboard

This page lists the overall leaders in the six most recent bidding polls, of which at least four participations are required to be eligible. Each poll consists of six problems scored on a 1-to-10 scale, so the maximum is always 60. Only your four highest scores are used to determine your average, and ties are broken by best rank in any of the six polls.

Also on this page are location rankings, winners and runners-up for all bidding polls (held bimonthly since September 2000) and a compilation of all-time stats in many categories. Congratulations to all! If you can’t find your name here, keep trying!

Rank percentile is a truncated whole number (0-99) indicating the percent of participants ranked below you. For example, 58 percentile means you ranked above 58 percent (which includes fractional increments less than 59). Note that 99 is the maximum because even the winner cannot rank above 100 percent of the participants.
If you are listed in the “Winners and Runners-up” or “All-Time Stats” without a city, or if your listed city is incorrect, please e-mail me (richard@rpbridge.net) and I will fix it.
