what I can do...

Youy could try something like 1/2[1-tanh(k(std-30))] so that it smoothly
approaches zero.

(...) Ahh, ok, I see what you mean. Yeah, this part is difficult. In my scoring mechanism, I was trying to predict what the most likely deviation from the mean would be, but I didn't have any data at the time. Under the covers, the way it scores you (...)
