Perhaps I have not explained it very well.
If the result of a game is A 45, B 40, C 35 and the RAPs are A 0, B 7, C 3 the adjusted score will be A 45, B 47, C 38 and therefore for the purposes of this tournament B will win, A will be second and C last.
To produce the RAP in the first place, if the score in a previous game was A 45, B 40, C 35, then A is 5 points better than average, B is average and C is 5 points below average. This calculation was carried out for all games and and average better than/worse than scores were calculated for all players. (Indiividual scores of more than 10, either way, were counted as 10 to reduce the effect of extreme results.)
bearsfan's score was 6, mine was 3. Then to work out what score needs to be added to the results of future games, I gave bearsfan 0, and worked everyone else out relative to him. That gives me 3 (6-3) and Dolly 12 (6- -6).
Back to the tournament, we have 19 entrants so far. I will take up to 2 more and start it off shortly. |
