Record Rating in detail why the number is what it is

Carry Optics #3493 of 7,105 worldwide

Stage skill
69.2
hit factor as a percent of the pace that wins an average Carry Optics field, fitted from 203 stage results since Oct 10, 2024
Blow-up deduction
−0.3
1 zeroed stage, a rate of 0.5% after a light pull toward the division; a zeroed stage scores nothing, so the skill is cut by that share
Record Rating
68.9 ±1.9
interval 65.2 to 72.8 at two deviations; personal stage noise 17.6% per stage; US level known to ±0.5%
Ordered by
67.0
rating less one deviation; a short record must be exceptional to outrank a long one
Avg % rank
#3,714
where a plain average of match percent (67.8%) would place them
Class rank
#3,355
USPSA class order (B), ties by avg %

Every match in the fit, oldest first. Percent is the raw percent of the division winner. Versus stages is how far the day's hit factors ran above or below the measured difficulty of the stages, averaged; best and worst are the single stages. Flagged stages fell more than two personal deviations from expectation and were given reduced weight. Skill is the fitted skill at that match on the random-walk path; the last value, before the blow-up deduction, is the stage skill above.
