CUT rating (2022): 5.9%
CUT rating (2023): 9%
CUT rating (2024): 7%
CUT rating (2025): 11%

Average of listed CUT ratings (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026): 9.4%

The guide gives each listed year equal weight, omits years without a rating and rounds only the final average to one decimal. This is a guide calculation, not a CUT-published lifetime score.
