Well, Geo, your suggestion had some merit. I'm rushing this off before I leave work, so bear with me.

If I remember (which might not be the case), you didn't average (I'll check later). Averaging MAY smooth things out a bit in the second place gaining the most points. On the other hand, IF second place has such a low score and the others are high scores, finishing 2nd SHOULD garner that person more points. Just as in a tourney when someone has several great games and does much better than expected...beating higher-ranked players.
