I know it makes no difference come alliance selection, when everyone has played the same number of matches, but until then, it's really confusing to see teams slowly drop down the ranks between matches, and then shoot up to the top temporarily. Bother!

What would it take to change the "Rank" value showed by the official stats to the match-normalized calculation?
In 2015 wasn't it average score?

This method is a lot better for seeing how many points you need to get in order to jump in the rankings. "We need 3 points to jump Team XYZ" is very useful.

Having two fields, one for actual rank, one for rank average, might work I guess.
