 Percentage Calculation –

Race Ranking of Racer A = (average time of top Racer / time of Racer A) x 100%

                 Racer A time – 15:50
                Top Racer time – 14:30
                 Racer A %  =  (14.5/15.8333) x 100% = 91.58%                                                          

 Average Percentage of top 2 for Skier A  

           Racer A time – 15:50
          
Top Racer time – 14:30 / 2nd Racer time – 14:50 à average time – 14:40
           
Racer A Average-%  =  (14.6667/15.8333) x 100% = 92.63%
