Line 17: Line 17:
Panelists were allowed to abstain from scoring particular candidates if they felt they did not know enough about them without affecting the player's overall score. If enough panelists abstained on a candidate, they would be disqualified. This did not occur during this ranking. Once the scores were obtained, they would be normalized for consistency. Afterwards, each player's score would be calculated using a weighted average with higher weights given to an individual rating the closer it is to the interquartile mean of the given player's scores.

==Trivia==
*Due to a formatting error, PGStats accidentally revealed {{Sm|null}}'s MPGR ranking (25th) instead of {{Sm|Mekk}}'s (45th) on the graphic for MPGR ranks 50-31 posted on their Twitter account.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/pgstats/status/1557079468186841090|title=Null's MPGR placement inadvertently revealed early}}</ref>
*The MPGR for Summer 2022 marked a number of firsts for recognized global ''Melee'' rankings:
**{{Sm|Hungrybox}}'s ranking of 4th marks the formal end of his 3-year reign as the number one player in the world.
**{{Sm|Mango}}'s ranking of 11th marks the first time he has been ranked outside of the top 10 for the entirety of his competitive career, with him previously ranking no lower than 6th.
**{{Sm|Jmook}}'s ranking of 3rd is the highest ever debut on any recognized global rankings for ''Melee''.
**{{Sm|Swift}}'s ranking (26th) over {{Sm|Axe}} (29th) is the first time another {{SSBM|Pikachu}} player has been ranked over Axe (albeit with a {{SSBM|Fox}} secondary).
**{{Sm|Aklo}}'s ranking of 18th marks the first appearance of a player listed with {{SSBM|Link}} as a used character on a recognized global ''Melee'' ranking since {{Sm|Lord HDL}} on the [[2014 SSBMRank]]. However, listing Link as one of his characters is dubious, as Aklo was a {{SSBM|Fox}} main whose only recorded Link usage in MPGR-qualifying events during the ranking season was in losses against {{Sm|Zain}} at {{Trn|Pound 2022}} and Swift at {{Trn|The Function 2}}. Since Lord HDL being listed as a Link player on the 2014 SSBMRank was similarly dubious, as he dropped Link in favor of Marth by 2014, there still hasn't been a legitimate Link user that made a recognized global ''Melee'' ranking.  Although he doesn't have any wins in the season, Aklo does use Link as a legitimate counterpick for FD.
**{{Sm|Azel}} became the first player to make the "Honorable Mention" list for two consecutive recognized global ''Melee'' rankings, as he was also listed as an Honorable Mention on the [[2019 MPGR|previous MPGR]].
*Fox main {{Sm|Pipsqueak}} had {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} as a listed character, despite not winning any sets with Falcon at MPGR-qualifying events during the ranking season.
