#include using namespace std; //This program does NOT use any kind of random number generator like most torunament/bracket programs. Instead, it uses a weighting system to assign a score/value for each team. The program weights several offensive and defensive rankings as well as win-loss record and also a small weight for my personal ranking of teams. The objective is to distribute an equal weight for each category by turning each category into a 100 point scale. The team with the lower weighted power ranking represents a better ranking.// //I am very new at this coding thing....would GREATLY appreciate any comments or suggestions on refactoring this code (I feel like there's got to be a much shorter way to do it) or adding sophistication to make the projections more realistic. //Each game in a 16 game season is worth 6.25 points (16 games * 6.25 weight = 100 point scale).// double LossWeight = 6.25; //The below categories are each team's rank out of the 32 teams in the NFL (32 teams * 3.125 weight = 100 point scale).// double OffensiveYardsWeight = 3.125; double DefensiveYardsWeight = 3.125; double OffensivePointsWeight = 3.125; double DefensivePointsWeight = 3.125; //The final category is each team's rank out of the 12 playoff teams which made it into the tournament (12 teams * 8.333 weight = 100 point scale).// double MyPowerRankingWeight = 8.333; //Name of team// string NFCseed1 = "SAINTS"; //Number of losses during the season// double NFCseed1Losses = 3; //Offensive yards rank out of 32 teams// double NFCseed1Offensiveyards = 8; //Defensive yards rank out of 32 teams// double NFCseed1DefensiveYards = 14; //Offensive points rank out of 32 teams// double NFCseed1OffensivePoints = 3; //Defensive points rank out of 32 teams// double NFCseed1DefensivePoints = 14; //Power ranking by author out of 32 teams// double NFCseed1MyPowerRanking = 2; //All rankings added together and multipled by the appropriate weights to apply the 100 point scale// double NFCseed1WeightedRank = (NFCseed1Losses * LossWeight)+(NFCseed1Offensiveyards * OffensiveYardsWeight)+(NFCseed1DefensiveYards * DefensiveYardsWeight)+(NFCseed1OffensivePoints * OffensivePointsWeight)+(NFCseed1DefensivePoints * DefensivePointsWeight)+(NFCseed1MyPowerRanking * MyPowerRankingWeight + .001);//.001 is for tiebreakers// string NFCseed2 = "RAMS"; double NFCseed2Losses = 3; double NFCseed2Offensiveyards = 2; double NFCseed2DefensiveYards = 19; double NFCseed2OffensivePoints = 2; double NFCseed2DefensivePoints = 20; double NFCseed2MyPowerRanking = 12; double NFCseed2WeightedRank = (NFCseed2Losses * LossWeight)+(NFCseed2Offensiveyards * OffensiveYardsWeight)+(NFCseed2DefensiveYards * DefensiveYardsWeight)+(NFCseed2OffensivePoints * OffensivePointsWeight)+(NFCseed2DefensivePoints * DefensivePointsWeight)+(NFCseed2MyPowerRanking * MyPowerRankingWeight + .0015); //Notice we use .0015 now for the tiebreaker. So if seed 1 and seed 2 end up with same weighted rank, seed 1 will now win by .0005. Creating some sort of rng to coinflip a winner would be too burdensome. So my work-around is weighting higher seeds to have slightly better "weighted zeros" with increments that are too small to effect the main weighting system of the program and by amounts that make a tie score impossible. The way this program is coded, any tie score would effectively ruin the program.// string NFCseed3 = "BEARS"; double NFCseed3Losses = 4; double NFCseed3Offensiveyards = 21; double NFCseed3DefensiveYards = 3; double NFCseed3OffensivePoints = 9; double NFCseed3DefensivePoints = 1; double NFCseed3MyPowerRanking = 4; double NFCseed3WeightedRank = (NFCseed3Losses * LossWeight)+(NFCseed3Offensiveyards * OffensiveYardsWeight)+(NFCseed3DefensiveYards * DefensiveYardsWeight)+(NFCseed3OffensivePoints * OffensivePointsWeight)+(NFCseed3DefensivePoints * DefensivePointsWeight)+(NFCseed3MyPowerRanking * MyPowerRankingWeight + .002); string NFCseed4 = "COWBOYS"; double NFCseed4Losses = 6; double NFCseed4Offensiveyards = 22; double NFCseed4DefensiveYards = 7; double NFCseed4OffensivePoints = 22; double NFCseed4DefensivePoints = 6; double NFCseed4MyPowerRanking = 10; double NFCseed4WeightedRank = (NFCseed4Losses * LossWeight)+(NFCseed4Offensiveyards * OffensiveYardsWeight)+(NFCseed4DefensiveYards * DefensiveYardsWeight)+(NFCseed4OffensivePoints * OffensivePointsWeight)+(NFCseed4DefensivePoints * DefensivePointsWeight)+(NFCseed4MyPowerRanking * MyPowerRankingWeight + .0025); string NFCseed5 = "SEAHAWKS"; double NFCseed5Losses = 6; double NFCseed5Offensiveyards = 18; double NFCseed5DefensiveYards = 16; double NFCseed5OffensivePoints = 8; double NFCseed5DefensivePoints = 11; double NFCseed5MyPowerRanking = 9; double NFCseed5WeightedRank = (NFCseed5Losses * LossWeight)+(NFCseed5Offensiveyards * OffensiveYardsWeight)+(NFCseed5DefensiveYards * DefensiveYardsWeight)+(NFCseed5OffensivePoints * OffensivePointsWeight)+(NFCseed5DefensivePoints * DefensivePointsWeight)+(NFCseed5MyPowerRanking * MyPowerRankingWeight + .003); string NFCseed6 = "EAGLES"; double NFCseed6Losses = 7; double NFCseed6Offensiveyards = 14; double NFCseed6DefensiveYards = 23; double NFCseed6OffensivePoints = 18; double NFCseed6DefensivePoints = 12; double NFCseed6MyPowerRanking = 1; double NFCseed6WeightedRank = (NFCseed6Losses * LossWeight)+(NFCseed6Offensiveyards * OffensiveYardsWeight)+(NFCseed6DefensiveYards * DefensiveYardsWeight)+(NFCseed6OffensivePoints * OffensivePointsWeight)+(NFCseed6DefensivePoints * DefensivePointsWeight)+(NFCseed6MyPowerRanking * MyPowerRankingWeight + .0035); string AFCseed1 = "CHIEFS"; double AFCseed1Losses = 4; double AFCseed1Offensiveyards = 1; double AFCseed1DefensiveYards = 31; double AFCseed1OffensivePoints = 1; double AFCseed1DefensivePoints = 24; double AFCseed1MyPowerRanking = 5; double AFCseed1WeightedRank = (AFCseed1Losses * LossWeight)+(AFCseed1Offensiveyards * OffensiveYardsWeight)+(AFCseed1DefensiveYards * DefensiveYardsWeight)+(AFCseed1OffensivePoints * OffensivePointsWeight)+(AFCseed1DefensivePoints * DefensivePointsWeight)+(AFCseed1MyPowerRanking * MyPowerRankingWeight + .004); //Note that we continue changing the tiebreaking weights for AFC teams.
