**These are not "actual" rankings. They are merely markers according to the average rankings. For the accurate totals, rankings must be converted into points, and then added up. If someone wants to do this, then by all means do so ...

1st place in each category gets 11 points
2nd place 10 points
...
11th place gets 1 point

In that case ranking is therefore 11 minus whatever is already on there.

As an aside, should there be a bit of a stagger between scores (a la Grand Prix) to boost those winning categories?
