Percentage Points System (PPS) Statistics

The Percentage Points System (PPS) only calculates statistics based on performance up to the point at which a game is locked. This new way to calculate statistics for teams and quizzers is an attempt to more fairly represent their performance at a tournament. Credit for the PPS statistics concept goes to Chad Nash, Ryan O'Neil, and Calvin Fisher, who have been discussing and calculating these statistics since 2005.
See the PPS summary page for more information.

PPS Highest Scoring Individuals and PPS All Tournament Team represent those quizzers who performed the best while games were still competitive. These quizzers are honored here for their outstanding performance.

** Projected PPG scores are the PPG that a quizzer would likely have achieved if the quiz had continued competitively after the quiz was locked. **
Projected PPG is calculated by taking the percent of total points that a quizzer earns before a quiz is locked and projecting that percent across the points remaining after the lock. Whether a quizzer would quiz out is also a factor used in calculating projected PPG. Since most quizzers stop quizzing competitively when a quiz is locked out of courtesy to the other team, the Projected PPG rankings honor these quizzers for their excellent quizzing and sportsmanship.

PPS - the percentage of the total points that the quizzer scored while the game was still competitive
pPPG - projected PPG represents the number of points that a quizzer would score IF they were to continue quizzing at the pace that they were when the game was locked; whether they would quiz out does affect this value
