Question about the points

In the CAO points when you go to check the points, it has 2 columns: The median and final column. What do they mean?!

The final is the minimum amount of points required for that year. The median is the average points of the people who got places and can be ignored.

Yeah, like Dagnir said the median takes all the different rounds into account whereas the final gives you the bottom line about what was needed.
