Re: White Paper Discuss: Spreedsheet to Calculate the Ranking of Teams

Hi Joe, I found a couple of problems.

Besides entering the teams in the "TEAM NAME DATA" worksheet, you must also enter the team number in the "Team Summary" worksheet. That's relatively easy to fix by changing A2 on the "Team Summary" worksheet to ='TEAM NAME DATA'!A2 and dragging down.

You seem to be making the same mistake calculating RP as I initially did. The winner should get the lower of the unpenalized score of the winner or loser (per team update 15). Lets say Blue scores 19 and Red 25, and each has a 10 point penalty. The net score is Blue 9, Red 15. The losers RP is the losers net score, 9, which you get correct. However the winners RP is the lower of the teams raw score, which is 19. You currently have it at 15.

To fix this, change Z3 to =IF(P3="X",IF(S3=T3,T3,IF(S3=R3,MIN(X3,Q3),R3)),"-") instead of =IF(P3="X",IF(S3=T3,T3,IF(S3=R3,MIN(X3,R3),R3)),"-") and drag down

Personally, I like the way you had it better as a ranking system (the lower of the winners penalized score or the losers unpenalized score) but that's not the way it is stated in update 15.

With those changes, your spreadsheet produces the same results as my spreadsheet and SOAPs database
