normalized_scores

Table actions
rigid
the simplest possible normalization: 5 points for 1st (equal), 4 for 2nd (equal), etc.; null for team tasks (only two ranks)
spread
Distribute points from a pool of {5, 4, 3, 2, 1}, with rank ties between N people sharing the next N available point values. (〃)
scale
Multiply every score by some common factor to achieve a sum of 15 for the task; where this causes any individual score to exceed 5, regrettably abandon the 15-point target and scale down to ensure a maximum of 5. Note that this value does exist for team tasks due to being point- rather than rank-based.
