There's a thread on it here https://itch.io/t/644401/calculated-ratings-for-jams-vs-raw-scores

Basically, in any itch.io game jam, you'll be penalized if you don't receive the median number of ratings . You can find the median on the results page here https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-14/results and you see the number of ratings for your game on your page.

From that post "The formula for jam ratings is adjustment = sqrt(min(median, votes_received) / median)"

0.79772403521746564185512620976512 = sqrt (7 / 11)

2.786 * 0.79772403521746564185512620976512 = 2.22 (your final score)
