Quidditch Round 2 (Push-ups)


Recommended Posts

Just a quick comment, the formulas don't appear to be calculating correctly. For instance, in HvR, it should be 8 all not 15 all (13 points scored by ravenclaw, five blocked by hufflepuff keeper, and no blocks countered by ravenclaw beater = 8 points, and hufflepuff have scored 10 points, ravenclaw keeper has blocked 3 of them, and one of those blocks is negated by a hufflepuff beater = 8 points. I did look at the formula, and it loose like you're doing:

 

TeamChaserPoints - (EnemyBeaterPoints - TeamKeeperPoints), and instead it should be TeamChaserPoints - (EnemyKeeperPoints - TeamBeaterPoints), unless I'm misunderstanding the rules...

The link is in the tapatalk signature, not the nerdfitness signature, which is why it does that. Change it to the nerdfitness signature as a URL link and it shouldn't come up as a huge video every post

Wow. My math broke again or something. Wow.

 

I think I fixed it. I believe win/tie/loss would have still been correct, but the numbers incorrect. It should be fixed now.

I added a note on the spreadsheet down in cells E43 through J43, showing an adjusted formula we might want to consider that I think should prevent team scores from dipping below zero.

Two points:

1) I considered it, but figured the shame of ending to week with a negative score could motivate some people to work harder

2) what happens if a beater negates more score than a keeper blocks? Like perhaps that should never get below zero, because at the moment those excess points will be added to the beaters team score (which is technically not what beaters are supposed to do)

I'm feeling a bit discouraged by being in the only team that has just two player who update the spreadsheet.

It's alright! Let's do our best for the team :) I'm telling myself the others are doing pushups in secret, and that they will be back on Friday to bump up our score to a thousand points hehe

I honestly hope so....

Okay, you keep at the Keepers tail and I try to out-exercise the Chasers.... well.... seems like a plan. *skeptical*

 

Edit: 25 more at work.... want to sleep now....

Double post because apparently a computer science degree isn't enough to stop me from being a complete noob

There is a fault with the NF site. I have had an error message stating that my post did not go through, but if I refresh the page it is posted. Most forums I know do not even allow for the same post/submit button to be clicked twice.

 

Two points:

1) I considered it, but figured the shame of ending to week with a negative score could motivate some people to work harder

2) what happens if a beater negates more score than a keeper blocks? Like perhaps that should never get below zero, because at the moment those excess points will be added to the beaters team score (which is technically not what beaters are supposed to do)

While that is understandable for gameplay, it would make playing as anything other than Chaser a risk that one's points would not be used at all in the final score therefore we would have teams of just Chasers excepting any blanket disallowing of such.

 

I'm feeling a bit discouraged by being in the only team that has just two player who update the spreadsheet.

Just 5 more this morning...

If they do not show up by Saturday they will be deemed hexed and the teams will be re-balanced for game 2 with people that do not might switching or had two preferred teams.

Do we have to add it to the spreadsheets ourselves? And how does one go about doing that?

 

Go ahead and open up the spreadsheet and find your name. Column D is where you will be adding your score. If you did 200 pushups, type 200. It will automatically calculate your score. Because you have a very high AMRAP (Starting) score, you will have to do more pushups to get a point. You have to do 51 pushups per point, while Sjard has to do 20.
