Quite surprisingly the peak positions of each histogram are very similar in all cases. The main difference is in the tails. The weekly comp appears to have the greatest area to the left of the peak, while the official results have a much larger area to the right of the peak. This might imply that maybe slower people are indeed reluctant to join in the weekly competition after all.
Interesting charts Conrad. (and nice layout now
I am lousy at speedsolving, but at normal competitions I compete against the end of the field. Here in the weeklies I am normally totally isolated at the bottom. Once in a while there comes entries from people who are as slow as I am, but either they disappear after a week or two or they get ten seconds better in that same time
The question of course is why anyone competes at all. At a normal competition you have a social side which mainly is absent here. So here I think one has to compete more (or mainly as in my case) against oneself.
