Harsh. Reminds me of something that happened to my sister in middle school. They promised the people who improved their standardized test scores by 2 percentile (from the previous year) a free day from the dress code and classes. My sister had scored in the 99th percentile both years, but she wasn't eligible for the free day. Seriously, WTF? One can't score higher than the 99th percentile, so she was in effect punished for doing well.
