METHOD FOR TRANSPARENT AND FAIR RESOURCE DISTRIBUTION

摘要

A computer-implemented system for allocation of a series of picks amongst multiple selectors in a selection process is configured to use total picks data, number of selectors data, and picks per selector data to determine a series of benchmark pick slots for each selector in accordance with a benchmark, for each selector, calculating a pick cost for awarding a pick position to the selector, awarding said pick position to the selector for whom the pick cost would least deviate the system from the benchmark and storing said pick cost of awarding said pick, and then iterating through the remainder of the draft using pick cost to determine who picks next, ensuring maximum fairness in the pick order. The system also manages the draft itself once the pick order is determined. It can assign value to the items chosen. It awards, or deducts, points from participants based upon their receiving picks that are better or worse than they should have, and for the quality of the items they have chosen.

1. A computer-implemented system for allocation of a series of picks amongst multiple selectors in a selection process, comprising:
a processor; and a non-volatile memory in communication with the processor; the system configured to:
receive input comprising number of picks, number of selectors, and number of picks per selector,store total picks data corresponding to the number of picks, number of selectors data corresponding to the number selectors, and picks per selector data corresponding to the number of picks per selector;use the total picks data, the number of selectors data, and the picks per selector data, to determine point values under a points system for allocating pick positions for each selector;for each selector, allocate picks according to the point system; and output a pick order.
