How this was graded: the projection was frozen before the first race (Fri Oct 30, 11:30 PM) and compared with the official results. Team scores are the official MPA team scores (only qualified teams score; individual qualifiers don't). "We had" = our projected team place; "Our range" = where we expected the team in 8 of 10 simulated races; win and top-3 chances are the ones we showed before the race. Runner by runner: tap "Every runner" on any race (runners appear as numbers inside their team). We don't show this to promote or demote any athlete. Predictions are data only and can be wrong.
