The difference between the games isn't as stark as I thought. Certainly there were more people with OPRs in the 0.5 to 1.5 SD range in 2014 than there are this year, but the curves are otherwise remarkably similar. That said, 1114's placement way out at 6.25 SD looks all the more impressive on this chart!
The 2015 distribution is flatter and more spread than I expected with extended tails at both ends. The number of teams beyond the top of 2014 is interesting as well.
