darn I'm 375th I should go to some comps on other continents.

Just noticed me, Jude and Rowan have exactly the same stats
Is there any other pair of competitors with identical stats who can beat their rank?

Interesting question I don't have an answer for yet: Can your rank get *worse* by going to a competition?
More precisely, compare these two scenarios:
1) You participated in competition X.
2) You didn't participate in competition X.
That's the only difference, everything else is the same.
In scenario 1, your average distance is probably lower and definitely not higher (unless you're connecting to an otherwise unconnected part of the graph). But what about your rank? By being there you not only lower your own average distance, you're also lowering other people's average distance. Is it possible that your rank is better in scenario 2?
Btw, I'm putting this on hold until Friday, need to work on something else now.
If I understand and analyzed your example correctly, he actually went from rank 5 to shared rank 3.As it turns out the bottom right comp goer was originally ranked 2nd and goes down the 3rd by attending the comp.
Last night I was curious who else was near the top of the list of average distances, so Dave and I found the top 33. Not surprisingly, everyone on that list went to WC2009. Stefan, do you know who's highest on the list that didn't go to WC2009?

I didn't go to WC2009.

...Ah, right. D'oh. I guess I assumed that since the other 32 of the top 33 did, you did too.
26, you can see it now on that new page by sorting by distance 4 and seeing there are 26 with nobody at distance 4.how many people are at most distance 3 from everyone else in the large group of connected people?
Yes, only four do.It seems that some of the top 10 people have this property, but they don't all.
