Actually, things don't change that much. That is one of the great things about using percentiles rather than averages. With averages a few high numbers can really skew the result but for populations like we have in this case, it doesn't have that much effect -- all that happens when you pull those top 4 monster teams out of the list is the shift the 95th, 90th, 75th and 50th percentile scores down 4 slots in the list.
I have done this and you can see that even without those top 4 teams, Newton is still in a class by themselves.
When FIRST teams are as numerous and as well supported as basketball teams, we will know that our culture is preparing young people to compete in the 21 st century and we are spending our 2 million minutes wisely. - N7UJJ [more]
