Race Difficulty/Rank Ratio Factors for 2000 Races

This table provides three numbers for each race.

The first, marked Difficulty, is the computed difficult metric for this race. See the rankings position paper for the details on how this is computed.

The second, marked RankRatio of Fastest, is the Rank Ratio (from 1999 US Rankings) of the fastest boat in the race. In a handful of small races, it was necessary to estimate this -- again, see the rankings position paper for the details on how this was done.

The third, marked Final Weight, is the number actually used to weight each boat's results for each race; it's the sum of the first two numbers divided by two. See the FAQ for a quick look at why this is being used.

Note that this table happens to be sorted in descendning order of Difficulty; there's no particular significance to this.
