Overall leaders for the final six bidding polls (one year). Each poll had six problems scored on a 1-to-10 scale, so the maximum score was always 60. To be eligible you must have entered at least four of the six polls, and your average is based on your four highest scores. Ties are broken by best rank in any of the six bidding polls.

Rank percentile for each bidding poll is a truncated whole number (0-99) indicating the percent of participants ranked below you. For example, percentile 58 means you ranked above 58 percent (which includes fractional amounts less than 59). Maximum is 99 because even the winner cannot rank above 100 percent of the participants.
