    Ranking with Tie-breaker for Fishing Tournament

    Hi All,

    New to the forum. Having read numerous other posts I have managed to cobble together the attached spreadsheet for a fishing tournament. It currently does the following:

    1. Allow anglers to records weights against respective peg numbers over a three day period

    2. Allocated points (lowest for highest weight) per section

    3. Creates a summary sheet with the results per day and total weight/points over the three days.

    Ideally I would like to add a tie-breaker to the final points ranking if possible and also have a list of anglers and their final ranking (with respect to points and weight where a tiebreaker is required) which is sorted in ascending order.

    Any help, advice or insights would be gratefully recieved.

    Thanks, Paul

    Re: Ranking with Tie-breaker for Fishing Tournament

    What criterion would be required for the tie-breaker?

    Hi the tiebreaker would be decided based on the highest overall weight (who caught the most fish).

    Thanks Paul

    You could have this in a helper column copied down:

    =U5+(R5+(S5/100))/1000

    Then use this for your ranking. The helper column could be hidden.

    Re: Ranking with Tie-breaker for Fishing Tournament

    Hi AliGW,

    Just been having another play with this, not sure it has quite solved it. If a tie on points exists the person with the highest weight (lbs + ounces) to assume the higher ranking number.

    On the sheet the formula is ranking the person with the lower weight higher?

    I have had a play with the formula but cannot get it to reverse this logic.

    Thanks Paul

    Try changing my formula to this:

    =U5+(1-(R5+(S5/100))/1000)

    You're welcome.

    In fact, it was an oversight on my part - I had intended adding the 1 to the formula before presenting it to you, but somehow managed to forget to do so!

    Out of interest, is there a reason you opted for the long-winded SUMPRODUCT formula for ranking instead of using RANK?

    =RANK(V5,$V$5:$V$30,1)

    Hi AliGW,

    I couldn't get the rank function to report sequential ranking numbers? If two people tied on rank 1 then the next person would start at rank 3, the sumproduct and countif seemed to solve that issue.

    So now you can use it, because you have broken your ties.

    Sequential ranking where there are ties is incorrect, of course, which is why RANK does what it does.
