When you post the unscaled version, MSC appears to be a truncated version of a division. That is all that I was getting at. There are a few other interesting anomalies to the MSC data. There is a fattening in the middle of the curve similar to Archimedes or comparable to IRI data some years. From an offense perspective, MSC is like the higher powered 3/4 of a division. This is what lead to the outrageous amounts of scoring. The stretch does do a good job of explaining the "feel" of the competition.
