The top 25 players have pulled in roughly 70 points apiece per day since the new scoring has started. As might be expected, the percentages of 7th place finishes is higher than under the old scoring, since a 6th or a 5th can be worse than a 7th.

The TAPL has been re-scaled to be a tenth of its former size to fit better with the new scores. The TAPL is described on my profile page. The CI is also shown, but it will need to be re-calibrated to the new scoring system.

As usual, skrum's TAPL outperforms roughly a third of the top 25'ers, but at the moment, skrum is in the cellar. Do not those zeroes look like three lemons?

I forgot to take the minus sign out of my TAPL to keep it on the bottom during the sort.

I take that back. My TAPL is okay. My CI is almost as good as Vohaul's.

Of course it does say something, but TAPL doesn't really say who's best. In the new system there are often situations where you flag and take a small loss, while you could sit for a higher place and an equal or greater loss. If you'd want to optimize TAPL you should sit, but good players often don't. That's why I think it can be off the mark with the new system, it rewards something that's a bad habit in the new system.

flagging for 7th constantly actually increases your tapl.
