From 4c900364a8e929a01191f90942592e2887b71a81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: javaisbetterthanpython Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 09:57:05 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add partner pair counts and variance fairness to round scoring. Track explicit partner-pair repetition with squared penalties in team selection and use getVariance() as a final tiebreaker in getNextBestRound.
