Calculating ranks of coaches during a tournament
Posted: Thu Jan 13, 2005 8:24 pm
Hi!
Bevan is developing an excellent program for Blood Bowl tournament organisation.
It not only ranks players for the next round by the swiss system, it also factors in things such as which types of teams they've played against already, which coaches they play often, how many agility or strength teams they've played so far and so on.
It works really well (having used it at CanCon and MOAB and I'm now using it to organise my local league).
What we're trying to figure out is how people organise the rank of players during a tournament.
In Oz, most tournaments work by the 7 point system (7 points are handed out per game)
1 per coach
3 to the winner (2 each if drawn)
1 to the winner if they won by more than 1 TD, otherwise this goes to the loser if there is only one TD difference
1 to the casualty count winner (1/2 each if this is tied)
We don't include sportsmanship or painting results in this rank.
Some tournaments do though. I'm wondering how this is done. Which formulas do people use?
Put another way, we're working on sportsmanship and painting, and are interested in how people are calculating ranks during a tournament that _include_ those in the calculation (rather than being completely seperate). Any ideas?
