Scoring Students

[wolfe3d]

I was thinking about the algorithm for scoring students and placing them in future tournaments, so that we could find an easy way to assign them to the events.

My proposed logic -

• Average place for students in a tournament
• Weight the average based on number of events participating.
• Weight builds higher or find a way to individually weigh events. This may need to go in the events table.
• [Maybe give a slightly higher weighting to upperclassmen, since they usually contribute more to an event. However, they will usually be already weighted more because upperclassmen participate in more events.]
• Using the weighted average. Place students in a position on the team for performance. Right now, I am working on a screen to show all of the initial scoring and test formulas.

Average placements to find the students who should be placed in top team.

When placing students in the tournament, use the placements and pick from top 20 students to choose a schedule that fits all events. Keep in mind 7 senior limit.

Please, comment.

Default weights for events will be added to the events table. Tournament specific event weights will be in a separate table. The Defaults will be loaded when the scoring is started.

Scoring Completed Tournament specific events were added to tournamentevent. Scoring was made as a new table. Tournament scoring is done on php and recalculated in javascript. Watch for bugs.
Overall scoring is done in php and put on a separate page. data.php#score No link currently exists to the page. I am not sure the best place(s) to put.

Next step use the scores and available events to come up with proposed schedule for team A.

Need to add toggle button that shows a scoring page that displays the places that each event has earned.
