Here is the update for the scheduler algorithm:
Its a pretty simple algorithm honestly, so I'll explain it here in detail so you can let me know if we need something different. Firstly, the judging assignments is just a straight division calc, but we also have to consider uneven distributions, hence the extra variable.
baseJudgesPerRoom = Math.floor(judges.length / roomCount)
extraJudgeRooms = judges.length % roomCount // Checks for remaining extra judges
For example. 7 judges and 3 rooms would be:
baseJudgesPerRoom = Math.floor(7 / 3) = 2
extraJudgeRooms = 7 % 3 = 1
Meaning one extra judge to be placed in one room.
For teams its far easier, we just do a round-robin style assignment:
(For each team at index i):
roomIndex = i % roomCount
slotIndex = Math.floor(i / roomCount)
Of course, there is some base validation too. We check the maximum number of teams that can be assigned in the given timeframe, and if it goes above that, then we return an error.
I also have some very basic prescreening stuff setup. It's just a couple of field updates to the scheme for hackathon_organization table.
