Hi guys, Poser for you, I have a scoring sheet where contestants in a competition are given a placing by judges ( there will be 5, 7 or 9 judges ). The result of the judges placings for the contestants will then determine final placings as follows.
Each judge must place each contestant in 1st, 2nd, 3rd place etc ( up to 12th place ). A contestant must have a majority of judges votes to be awarded a final placing. If a contestant does not have a majority vote, then the next placing is added to the previous placement ( 1st thru 2nd, 1st thru 3rd etc )until a majority is reached. If two or more contestants have equal majority then the numerical value of the ordinals for each contestant is added, the contestant with the lower sum gets the higher placing.
This is easy enough to do manually, but I wanted to automate the process and have become stuck. I can email an example if need be.
