Default The new Normalisation rule - top half of competitors

Hi all,
I have a question about the new Normalisation rule in FAI Sporting Code 2018.
https://www.fai.org/sites/default/fi...robatics_18.pd
(Page 15 in the PDF)
5.1.9 Classification
e) All scores for each round, preliminary, semi-final and finals, will then be normalised as follows:
The average score of the top half of competitors flown in front of a particular group of judges (ie a round) shall be awarded 1000 points. The remaining scores for that group of judges are normalised to a percentage of the 1000 points in the ratio of actual score over this average score.
PointSx = Sx / Sw x 1000PointSx = points awarded to competitor X
Sx = score of competitor X
Sw = average score of top half of competitors in round

Anyone know how the top half is rounded off when odd numbers of competitors.
For example 9 competitors - is half of competitors (9/2=4.5) 4 or 5 for this rule?
- does one round up or down?

We will have our first F3A competition in our country for the season later in May and it is always good to prepare well ahead.
