Re: Ranking by Median Score

So instead the ranking could be based on the best 5 performances (or 50%). A bad match will be thrown out, but a good match can move a team up quite a bit. The rankings could be quite reshuffled the second day.
So your idea is to make rankings less indicative of robot ability.

I like median because it removed outliers from having either really good partners or having some freak accident.
