I understand that "show ratings relative to..." a particular league establishes those ratings such that 50 is an average player. Assuming scouting off or at 100%, if this is true, then should there be an equal distribution above and below that #?

For example, a small league I just created has 120 players in it. With relative ratings on, I computed the average of the ratings. They were heavily skewed towards lower numbers, and actually averaged just below 35. Using 50 as a median point, only 8 of 120 players were rated above 50. 107 players were rated below 50, and 5 were exactly at 50. Does this seem correct? If so, can someone clarify the OOTP manual which says "If enabled, then ratings will be scaled to the average of the league, so that a player who is a 50 on a 20-80 will be exactly league average"

If important, it should be noted that these are initially created players on a league that has not yet had its first game.
