- Creates a judging team for each special award
- Assigns judges to special awards based on the number of students self
nominated.
- Obeys the judges special award preferences (if enabled), and also
judges that specify if they are a judge for a specific special award
(if enabled).
- Add 2 new config variables.
- Enable the special award scheduler
- Specify the max. number of projects each special award judge can
handle (default: 20)
- Delete an extra blank line in register_participants_students.php
prevent a project from getting too many judges in a row, and also a judge from
judging 2 projects at the same time (which would be more of a problem).
Still need to write a verifier to check all the results. But the annealer
tests look pretty good. Unfortunately it takes a pretty long time to run. :(
all issues EXCEPT that the timetable scheduler may assign two judging teams
to the same project at the same time. I will fix that soon. But everything
else should now work.
in the scheduler so we can only select judges that are NOT already part of a
judging team
- Fix a numbering issue where sometimes an divisional team created by the
scheduler wouldn't get created because of conflicting team numbers. Now, use
MAX(num) to find the highest team number and increment team numbers from that
number.
- Missing: Having a project judged more than once by different judging teams is
untested, I don't htink it'll work properly, still working on that part.
- Missing: Auto updating the configuration if any of the variables are missing.
- Missing: A way to preserve judging questions (like willing_chair), so the
user doesn't delete them and break the scheduler, OR, notice saying that the
question has been deleted and the scheduler won't use the chair calculations,
then we need a way to add them back in with the click of a button.
Separate the 'requirement check' into a separate file and run it on both the config page, and as a double check on the actual annealer page incase they decide to manually type in the address or bookmark or somkething.
If specialawardnomination is set to "none" (fair doesnt use special award self-nominations) then the pick winners page will instead show all projects that are eligible for the award to choose a winner, instead of those that are nominated for it (which is none).
Thanks Justin!
Create scheduler configuration page to handle setup parameters for the automatic judge team assignments
Create the annealer to handle the actual assignments of judges to judging teams based on the lowest cost function of each individual team. Currently takes into account: a) age category preference, b) divisional areas of expertise. still requires: years of experience, language preference, and 'team captain' scheduling.
