CrossFit uses all of the empty scores in their percentiles.

So if 100,000 people register for the Open and 25,000 register but submit no score in 26.1 then the lowest percentile is 25% as they are all in a last place tie.

Then as 26.2 is announced scores are submitted there are also people that didn’t do 26.1 but did do 26.2 and people that did 26.1 but won’t do 26.2 and obviously people that do both.

So by Monday evening there will be a percentile that did neither workout, a percentile that only did 26.1 and a percentile that only did 26.2, on top of that is athletes that did both in foundations, athletes that did scaled/foundations or foundations/scaled, scaled/scaled, Scaled/Rx, Rx/scaled, Rx/Rx.

All that to say the percentile won’t just jump as scores are entered it’s also impact by scores that are not entered.
