So I have been thinking about this KCBS Table of Death and Table of Angels and have an idea I am thinking about sending to the board of directors but would like your input. I look forward to reading your comments.
I have heard on numerous occasions on how the “Table of Death” (TOD) and “Table of Angels” (TOA) either helped me or hurt me and 99% of the time it is how the TOD hurt them. The TOD and TOA are basically created by pure circumstance of where judges sit after the judges meeting. This purely by chance circumstance can be greatly reduced or eliminated by placing judges at the appropriate table based on the averages of the other judges at the event.
Example of a 12 team event this situation could occur with table #1 having an average of 194 and #2 an average of 156. No need to drop the lowest when calculating averages. In this extreme example, you could have a TOD and TOA at the same event.
Table #1 average 194 - Table #2 average 156
Judge #1 = avg 32 - Judge #7 = avg 27
Judge #2 = avg 30 - Judge #8 = avg 28
Judge #3 = avg 33 - Judge #9 = avg 26
Judge #4 = avg 32 - Judge #10 = avg 23
Judge #5 = avg 34 - Judge #11 = avg 25
Judge #6 = avg 33 - Judge #12 = avg 27
If the SCORE program was storing a judge’s individual or average score based on the member number, a screen could be developed that takes in a list of member id numbers supplied by the organizer and SCORE could be setup to take these numbers and calculate the average scores among the judges present and can put them at the appropriate table based on the average score from past events.
Example after adding the 12 member ids in to SCORE it would even out the average to table #1 having an average score of 176 and #2 an average score of 174 which would most likely eliminate the TOD and TOA.
Table #1 average 176 - Table #2 average 174
Judge #1 = avg 32 - Judge #5 = avg 34
Judge #2 = avg 30 - Judge #10 = avg 23
Judge #4 = avg 32 - Judge #3 = avg 33
Judge #8 = avg 28 - Judge #11 = avg 25
Judge #7 = avg 27 - Judge #6 = avg 33
Judge #12 = avg 27 - Judge #9 = avg 26
Some exceptions:
1. Non CBJ can be given a default average and SCORE could make sure they are distributed evenly to the different tables.
2. CBJ judging their first event (or could easily make it first three events) get a default score.
