"Weighted Average for Groups That Fail Participation Criterion: If the participation rate of an accountability group falls below the required percentage, a “weighted average” of the group’s participation rates over the current and the previous year is calculated. If the result meets the participation criterion for the measure, the group is considered to have met the participation criterion."
