Do you need to announce it? Never mind, you're gone now and nobody cares.

800 sounds about right. 1200 is about 85th percentile. 50th percentile is something way less.
The average is by definition and mathematical logic set to the 50th percentile.
I thought that was the median?
It's the middle observation(s) of a given data set. F. ex on an IQ-test, those who score 100 on the Bellcurve are at the 50th percentile.

There are three types of averages: Mean (the sum of all data points divided by the total number of data points); Median (the middle data point), and the Mode (the data point that occurs the most). If you look at the USCF data (post #59), the mean and median are about the same (around 1150), the mode is 1600. The median is the one that is commonly referenced.
