Just for penance, I did fresh screen-scraping for Go Science, Gargleblasters, and Contenders in a new spreadsheet.
I used the spreadsheet formula below to exclude beginner puzzles in this version. Prior versions relied on manually deleting the rows for beginner puzzles.
This method produced the same "screen scraped" totals shown above for the three groups in question.
The formula below says "if the puzzle description does not contain "Begin" (an error) set the value to the puzzle score, else set it to zero".
=IF(ISERROR(FIND("Begin";A1));D1;0)
Good news, sort of - this time the rankings at least appear to be in the correct order.
My screen-scraped results for the Russian Team and the Hun-Magyar Csapat match the
numbers shown on the Groups page.
Otherwise, still a mess. The scores on the Groups page for the other 9 groups
don't match my results. None of scores on the Groups page matches the score on
the corresponding individual group page.
But at least we have good rankings at the moment.

Thank you for your "penance" … it must be a really tedious job sorting it out.
It doesn't match any more

I've seen this issue pop up regularly since I returned to Foldit in 2020.
I created a bug report for this back in March: https://fold.it/portal/node/2012889 , so my apologies for starting a separate thread on what seems to be the same problem.
