If that's the case, it'll flatten out the "who you are paired with" average with respect to your own team number. It won't change your opponent's average team number, though. I could easily be reading the code wrong. I thought what was important was the average team number of who you were paired with, which should ideally be constant versus team number, not the whole alliance, which your own team number will influence.

Well, when it's doing the summing for the team's you're with, it leaves your team out of your bucket. iTeamWithSum is an array of 26 elements. iTeamWithSum[0] represents the sum of all alliance partners of (0-99) numbered teams, iTeamWithSum[1] is the sum of all alliance partners of (100-199) numbered teams, and so on. So to say that "188 (a 100-199 team) had team numbers 865 and 703", the code would be iTeamWithSum[1] += 865 + 703.
Example: Let's say we have an alliance of 1114, 1503, and 1680.
It would do:
iTeamWithSum[11] += 1680 + 1503 // 1114 was paired with 1680 and 1503
iTeamWithSum[15] += 1114 + 1680 // 1503 was paired with 1114 and 1680
iTeamWithSum[16] += 1114 + 1503 // 1680 was paired with 1114 and 1503
average[11] = (1680 + 1503) / 2; // note that this isn't affect by 1114 being on the 1114/1503/1680 alliance
So the actual team number that we're doing the indexing by is not included in the average, and thus shouldn't effect the final average (for that bucket).
Good argument though, keep them coming. We don't want to make a fuss if my code is simply wrong.
