I manage a sports team and we run a man of the match award after each game. I have an issue with calculating the winner because I don’t get the same amount of responses each week.
The details.
After each game, each player is suppose to send in an award for the best player, whom gets 3 points, 2nd best player, whom gets 2 points, and third best player, whom gets 1 point. Note, players can also assign 1 point each to 6 players, or 3 players 2 points each. They just need to allocate 6 points per game. Therefore each player (total of 18 players) need to assign 6 points per game, so total of 108 points are available per game. The player at the end of the year who has accumulated the most points wins player of the season.
The problem
They are meant to, but not everyone votes per game, so a player may get an unfair advantage as they accumulated a high amount of points in a game where lots of players voted.
I need to be able to adjust the value of the points awarded by the number votes submitted each week, therefore making sure that each week can be equal to the next and that everyone has equal chance.
help please.
thanks in advance.
