Meta-averages idea

[WACWCA]

Interesting idea, I've put thought into something like this before.

I don't think this should be used for official WCA rankings, but I do think this would be a good addition to psych sheets. If an average of a competitor's last x averages was listed, the psych sheets could give a more accurate representation of the speed a competitor will bring to a competition.

I think that's a good idea to show what they have been averaging but I think it makes more sense to do it like in the past so many months, because if you dont go to many comps it may mark you as like 17 when you average 12 or something

Maybe both? That sounds like a great idea. I've always noticed that the psych sheets are generally off, and always in the downward direction. In larger competitions, this can even change them by 2 seconds. Looking at the Nats psych sheet, people would laugh at my goal of semi-finals, but I think I'll need around an 11.30 average, not a 9.72.

Maybe it should be 270 days. I think a year is too much but 180 is too little. However, if you haven't been to a competition in 270 days then it should just be your latest competition.

Or what if they had like seasons. So there would still be world records. But there would be rankings for each season.

Just select only 20xx year, and you're good to go.
