I’ve been pondering the mathematical possibility of this anomaly for some time. Thanks to your posts, the penny finally dropped.

Let me illustrate with the following extreme scenario:

- Stages 1 to 4 each have exactly 100,000 participants

- The top 1,000 players are the same in all four stages and they are the only 1,000 to have completed all four stages

- You are in position 1,000 in each stage

Given the above, you will be at the very bottom of Group A (Top 1%) in each stage. Globally, you will clearly be in Group L. Or should that be LL – Lucky Last at the very bottom!
