That's a pretty bizzare way of counting!

Usually, ties would be expressed as 1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 9. In any
case, the rank is theoretically in the right order.

For national shows, cume is the only way of counting.

As another poster mentioned, the methods for adding cume in Talkers are less
than scientific, but are reasonably close and do give an idea of how the
individual shows rank.
