In your case, wildthings1 did not play last year, and skunk206 did well in his first appearance. Since he has less tournament experience than you, his raw stats are weighted more than yours are and he scores considerably better there (second overall, behind wildthings1). You're sandwiched closely between mjkrunner and milest. They both benefitted from the same bump skunk did, though not as much since their stats are not as good as his. One thing I'll add is that it's hard to improve your score after 16+ years in the tournament — look at jfranco77. He's one of only two people to have finished in the Top 10 for the last 4 years but is still haunted by his two finishes in the 60s.
Also, to be fair, the difference between 2nd and 6th last year was 6 total points (though margin is not factored in)
