But only the top 4 are included in the average. Not all that participated if more than 4.
You've indicated that if more than 5 participate then more than 5 scores will be used to calculate the average. Is this what you meant?

The only problem I see with the scores as they are now is that we have teams that are tied, or have tied in the past.
It makes it weird for me to have to try and do a formula that displays 2 teams in the same field.
Currently the scoring system is
1st - 10
2nd - 6
3rd - 4
4th - 3
5th - 2
6th on down - 0
I think it should be something like;
1st - 88.89
2nd - 77.78
3rd - 66.67
4th - 55.56
5th - 44.45
6th - 33.34
7th - 22.23
8th - 11.12
I also think that teams that improve their team̢۪s average should get extra points. And those that lower the team̢۪s average should get points deducted. This method is a lot like the FSM that  SDWis running.
This would keep teams from killing other teams and still allowing the not so skilled teams a fighting chance.

I can change that so any numbe of scores are coutned. it could be from the 1 highest score to every player if we wanted it.

CP sorry sweets, hold on we are fiddling right now with this with Dirt. I still kinda think that it should be 5 peoples scores, BUT if 3 people entered then they should have their scores counted as well. But no more than 5 scores can be counted. SO the top 5 scores of that team count.
I think! |

If there were 8 teams with 8 people on each team minus the captains there would be 7 rounds for drafts. We put the other 56 people in a pool and calculate their scores from highest to lowest and display each member for the draft. 8 team captains would pick from the pool eliminating that person from the draft. Teams will be randomly selected to see what order the draft will take place. Once the draft starts it will continue until there is no more players left. the order would go like this
Team 1 would pick from the list
Team 2 would then pick
Team 3 on up to team 8
Then team 8 would pick again and then team 7 would go
Team 6, then 5 then 4,
Down to 1, team 1 would pick twice then move on to team 2 then 3 on up
so the picks would look like this:
1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8
8; 7; 6; 5; 4; 3; 2; 1
1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8
8; 7; 6; 5; 4; 3; 2; 1
1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8
8; 7; 6; 5; 4; 3; 2; 1
1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8
8; 7; 6; 5; 4; 3; 2; 1

8; 7; 6; 5; 4; 3; 2; 1 |
Unless it was a random pick and no one knew who they where getting or their overall score, then i would say do it.
So each player would get a number 1 thru 64, and the team captains would have to pick 8 numbers from them. That is the only way it would work or everyone would go for the higest scoring players and that is not fair. (I am all about fairness if you couldnt geuss)
So say I picked 8,33,54,1,5,13,44,38 those would be my team members. I would have no idea as to who they are until they are revealed to me. That is the only way that would work |

I should add, that maybe that is what you are saying and I am too thick to understand it.
if it is not blindly random like that, then i say we stick with what we have. |
