And here are the MDTA Unofficial results for the 2011-2012 season. I will be posting the top 5 students along with the top 5 schools for each. Public Forum, Classic and LD results are complete and ready for community review.
In addition to the results, I will be posting the MS Excel document used to calculate all of the points. This is for community review because it’s very possible that someones name is misspelled or I mis-calculated something along the way. A quick explanation of the spreadsheet. It has four sheets. RawData is where all the magic is. It lists students name and schools. If a tournament offered breaks beyond Quarters, than we mark those tournaments as special otherwise, the top 8 get a point for breaking. Than one additional point is awarded for each break round won or at a tournament where to breaks exist, a single point awarded to the winner. We then have Top 8/Breaks bonus, Elim Bonus (each win or first place) to get total bonus points. Lastly, there is a Y/N used to determine if we count that record for a school awards, remembering only the top 2 entries are counted.
So without further text here goes:
