Ariadne - Technical description

Introduction

Viking Venlo has a special team race. In this team race the issue is not which team is the fastest, but which team improves most the times the members of the got in their individual event run.

The members of the teams must have an individual run result. On basis the ranking this individual run result the participants are triple wise assigned to a team. See function A380 for the team composition. Next the teams run the team race. The team result is calculated from the difference between the team result and the individual results.

Calculation of the team result

A team is composed of three members with adjacent individual results on the individual ranking list.

- member 1 result
- member 2 result
- member 3 result

- team result

Member results must be valid results and are only selected from members with a 'p' mark (for 'ploeg' ( Dutch for Team)) in the Competing-unit-name attribute of the competing unit record.

The team improvement is calculated as :

minimum ( (team result - member 1 result), (team result - member 2 result), (team result - member 3 result))

When the team improves, the improvement figure is negative. Therefore the min-function which takes the biggest negative figure, or the smallest positive figure. (A positive improvement figure means a worsening of the team result. In that case the smallest worsening counts.)

Remark: teams may have only two members.
