Average finishing position in each event type, across every contest we hold results for. Lower is better. Ordering weighs how often an event has been contested, so a strong average from a handful of outings does not outrank a long record. That is why an event higher up the list can show a slightly worse average than one below it. Event types with fewer than 4 recorded outings are not shown.
