wrong. for that to be true you would have had to have done something like a single 320 choice poll. there would have been better ways to do it, but that would have been the simplist
-
the way you did it here your results are statistically inaccurate to put it lightly. none of your placements are mathematically sound
-
you broke the competition up into flights pitting programs against others in their alphabetical bracket and programs that were up against more popular programs in their own bracket were at a disadvantage over others in less popular brackets
-
logically, the next step here would be to have a run-off between your entries up there, but that would only result in you being sure of the #1 spot even the #2 spot would have a significant enough margin of error to render the reuslts mathematically useless
-
there would have been lots of ways to have a ranking system in place in the flight system but they all involve using many more tiers than the single one you ran here
