We are looking into the possibility of selecting props to use for a round based on their standard deviations rather than rating. If we have enough props (30+?) with SD under say 30, then we won't use props with SD over 30. We would only use the higher SD props when needed for rounds where we had fewer than 30 total props. This should reduce the differences we might see in official ratings and account for the under rated up-and-comers depressing numbers. But it still wouldn't be programmed into the online unofficial process, at least for a while.
