In my Kona Rating Report I’m using a “star system” to show athletes chances to place well overall and how strong they are in each of the disciplines on a scale of zero to five symbols. The number of symbols is based on the ratings, the more symbols the better.
Here is compact way to look at the data, giving you a chance to view the whole field in one “heatmap”. In these graphs, a darker red corresponds to more stars, white is equal to no stars.
