This edition of the WTT really blew my mind. I was in group E (top 30%) in two stages and group G (top 50%) in the other two, so what do you think my overall ranking was?

Why, Group K (top 90%) of course! Now my math is not very good, but I am not aware of any combination of 30's and 50's that will result in a 90.

But, I think I finally understand how WTT rankings work! The only thing that matters is how the sum of my times from the 4 stages compare to the sum of times for everyone else who have completed all four stages. The rank in each individual stage has no direct relevance to the overall rank. Yesterday my overall rank was 24,423 out of ~26k people who had completed all four stages. In stage 1 I ranked 71,828 out of ~160k who had completed stage 1. Obviously significantly more of the 90k slower than me dropped out than the 70k faster than me!
