Ranking, End of 2012 Season =
1) 2012 Nationals Finish
2) 2012 End of Season USAU (algorithm) ranking

Based on the charts, I'm guessing it is 1, but based on the name I thought it was 2 at first.

Correct, Ariel. "End of 2012 Season" = Nationals Finish (at the end of the 2012 Season). Thanks for reading.
