Grandpa Consistency:

If Mr. Consistency is how someone did within a specific PSL contest, Grandpa Consistency is how they did within ALL PSL contests.

Using Standard Deviation (SD), I determined who has been the most consistent from one contest to the next.

I won't bore you with calculations, but suffice it to say that if someone were 75th, 75th, 75th, 75th, 75th, 75th in each contest, they would have a SD of zero - pretty consistent. But, who wants to be 75th in all six contests?

Therefore, I applied a simple qualifier. A person must have had at least 4 contests where they ended in the top-40. That gives a slight benefit to people who have participated in six contests in terms of total numbers on this list, but (on average) it is easier to have a lower SD the fewer the contests.

There were fifteen qualifiers who have played in all 6 contests, four qualifiers who have played in 5 contests and one qualifier who has played in 4 contests. Shown below are all 20, their SD, the number of contests participated in (#C) and their ranks in each contest in chronological order. The lower the number the more consistent.
