Re: Math: How to solve ranking equation

If you're looking for a more visual explanation (or a simpler one), I wrote up this summary for my team: http://goo.gl/lx2I2l

I tried to explain the math behind it without calculus or too much statistics, which makes it easier to read but not nearly as in depth as the official explanation (in my opinion). It's mostly a graphical / algebra based analysis to get at the basics of what district ranking is and how your ranking at an event factors into it.

Note: I haven't taken any statistics classes and we're not yet in districts, so I'm not sure if everything I wrote is completely accurate. Please let me know if anything is wrong and I'll try to correct it.
