Thank you for your comment. I ran the code with 'use strict' and '-w' (including a 'use vars' statement at the top) and it ran and compiled and whatnot successfully. I probably should have clarified, but some problems that I noticed witht the output was this:

(1)The first output works correctly, except a blank line is added at the top (could it make an error in my logic?)
(2)THe second(and third and etc.) time it is not correct. Namely, when I enter the data and give the team number, if I have given the team numbers as 1 2 3 and 4, and I enter 1, it does not prompt me for the names(this is correct, because I would already have them) BUT for 2 3 and 4 it incorrectly prompts me for their names; also, the output is erroneous. Namely the last part of it (the number of matches) stays at 1, i.e., does not increase to 2 (3, 4, etc.) as it should. Also it doesn't average the score, or remember the names.

Sample input for the program would be this, if it helps: 11 . 2 . 3 . 2 . 92 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 1 . name1 name2 . 2 . name3 name4 . 3 . name5 name6 . 4 . name7 name8 . <END OF INPUT>

The score would be 732 (as it correctly displays); but if you enter the SAME data again, it works incorrectly (and if you change the 11, let us say, to a 10, you can see that the scores don't average either).

As for the "calculations" I don't think you need to know them, becuase (I may not have made it clear) but they DO work. . . it is the actual ranking that does not. I have tested them (in the original C++ they were written in, albeit) and they work fine.

If any more info is needed, just ask.
