-'''Floating uma''', or sliding uma, is an alternate method for calculating uma. When floating uma is used, the uma points will vary based on the number of players above/below the target score. This makes end score calculation centered around the target score more so than just simple placement.

-Floating uma is used so that every player above the target score has uma >= 0, while every player below the target has uma <= 0. Any "leftover" bonuses/penalties are shifted to 1st/4th place, respectively, so that the combined uma still equals 0.

Afterwards, the uma of 1st or 4th place is adjusted so that the combined uma still totals 0. This makes end score calculation centered around the target score more so than just simple placement.
