Thread: Is this the correct way?

Welcome to the forum! Please read this topic to learn how to post code in code or highlight tags and other useful info for new members.

Please post your code correctly using code or highlight tags per the above link.

Post some sample runs. Make up runs that are easy to score to verify if the program's results are correct. Then make up more difficult ones and/or corner cases. What does a tie look like, how many ways are there to tie, etc.

Hello,
Just posted with the highlights!
Thanks for this!

I don't get this logic:

pointsClubA = pointsClubA + points;

Can you describe what you're doing? Is it the top finisher gets 31 points and each finisher thereafter gets one point less that the previous finisher? I'll think about that for a bit, but it seems too heavily weighted towards the top finishers.

Hello,
Yes the top finisher get 31points and the last one get 1point. So yes every finisher get one point less.
Its the only system that I can find out so that I can have a winning team with the runners in the best position.
If there is a better solution, all ideas are welcome.

Similar but different, here's how International Cross Country teams are scored.

So you suggest instead of having the runner in position 1 getting the most points and every runner finishing after him gets 1 points less.... only the top 20 runners are having points. And position nr1 gets 1 point and every finisher after him gets 1 point more? And the team with the most points wins?

Am I getting this correctly?

Greetings

You said your system was the only one you could find. I'm showing you another but not suggesting you do anything differently. And, no, you did not correctly describe the scoring system I pointed to.

How would you describe it then?
Kind regards.

I'm trying to understand you're code, but it's complicated and it lacks structure. But what I think you're trying to do:

- User fills in 'backnumber' from top of list.
- System checks at what position the player is.
- System calculates ammount of points granted to player.
- 'backnumber' payer gets assisgned an ammount of points.
- User types in next 'backnumber' and repeats step 1-4 untill all 30 backnumbers have been submitted.
- System checks which team has most points.
- System prints out winning team Letter.

Is this correct?

That is indeed correct.
