New-fangled evermore and ever better

I've had a fair amount of "evermore and ever better" sessions, but the "ever better" part has typically focused on the place where I finished, rather than the percentile of that place. Friday night, I had an "evermore and ever better" session where better was determined by percentile. That now seems to me the better yardstick to use. For the record, my percentiles were 56, 80, and 86. Even though I had a losing session, I was still satisfied that I was playing well.
