Field notes
The page offers separate views for hackers, schools, events, and duos, with a search prompt and a paginated ladder. Its school comparison uses the average rating of each school's top ten hackers, but a school is included only after five of its hackers have ratings. The event-difficulty section describes its estimate as the odds that a team of 90th-percentile hackers wins against the field that showed up.
