I think that for a GM, you need a 2650 performance rating (it might be 2600, I have not looked at this in a _long_ time.) You can therefore take the average rating for all participants, and compute the necessary final score to produce that 2650 performance rating. That is the "norm" score if my memory serves. I don't remember the IM norm requirement, and didn't even know there was a FM norm requirement at all.
