The most common question I get is "why are the normalized scores and my rank in the overall standings different from my class (expert or sportsman) normalized scores and standings?"
The simple answer to this is that the number is calculated as the percentage of your raw score relatively to the top scorer. Usually the top scorer of a contest is an expert, and its only sportsmen who have this problem since the class normalized scores will be calculated from the top sportsman and the overall normalized score is calculated from the top overall performer, usually an expert. So, in summary, for experts the overall normalized score is typically the same as their class normalized score. For sportsmen they are typically different.
In HLG, however, we have had sportsmen be the best performers overall, so this issue also shows up for experts when a sportsman has been the overall winner.
I know its confusing, and sometimes I am confused myself, so don't be embarrassed to ask again.
