Re: Suggestion to improve the alliance choosing program
Ok, I'll do another set of these once I have time. Here is my proposal:
On a per-regional basis:
For each team, take the average team # of all their allied teams. Compare this with the average team # at the regional (minus themselves of course) to represent their expected average team # of their allied teams if they were paired randomly. Call the difference D, and say that D for a given team is given by D = f[t]. Sp if you had a regional with teams (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) and 1 was paired with 2 and 3 for a match and 4 and 5 for another, D = ((2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10)/9 - (2+3+4+5)/4).
Hypotheses:If the scheduler is blind to team numbers, then f should not follow any pattern as t increases. If the scheduler is affected by team numbers and there is clustering, then f should follow some pattern as t goes from low team numbers to high team numbers.
