Designing a non linear scoring table for an athletic contest

25 Views Asked by At

I am testing Men and Women in the standing broad jump contest. I need to create gender-specific, non-linear scoring tables. The terminal points are 1000 and 0. The longer the distance jumped, the more points earned. I want to accelerate an athlete's points as he/she gets closer to the 1000 point mark. The broad jump will be measured in feet and inches, rounding up to the nearest inch (example: a jump of 11-feet 5.5-inches is recorded as 11-feet 6-iches). What algo is necessary to create this table?
