So, I'm hoping to do a Eurovision-style contest for my region to participate in, and I was wondering if there was not only a scorinator that was compatible with that sort of contest, but also (preferably) works in the browser and thus, does not require downloading. If there isn't a browser scorinator, I can certainly download a good and easy-to-use scorinator.
Thank you.

This wasn't a joke. Would someone like to answer please?

Well, it depends. If you wanted to have some extra stats, like remaining HP, damage done, weapons used, then no. You can't really do something like that in xkoranate.
However, if you just want a simple "Player A defeats Player B," then the Judo scorinator on xkoranate will work like a charm for you. It takes in two players for a match and then just determines a straight winner. No scores, no tiebreakers, just a simple "A def. B".

Okay. Does it have a way to simulate which one is more "skilled" or do RP bonuses?

I'm not aware of any scorinator for song contests and, unless things can changed since I last entered, WorldVision (a long-running event over in the NationStates subforum that afaik is based on the RL Eurovision) uses a voting system where you're not allowed to vote for your own song.
If you're looking to do something where everybody will be expected to write out a song and performance, I'd recommend a voting system like WorldVision uses over a scorinator. If you're not actually writing out the songs and just need some point scores, you could probably scorinate it as figure skating or gymnastics or some other Olympic sport that uses judges.

I've got to point out that several years ago, the author of xkoranate (Commerce Heights) found a serious bug in the home advantage code:Qusmo wrote:Hey, all.

At one point, I think there was a clarification as to whether or not this affected every paradigm formula. But most of us have since just stopped using the home advantage option.Commerce Heights wrote:…Now that I look at it, there’s actually a serious bug in xkoranate’s NSFS paradigm code: the variable homeAdvantage is a bool.

This would apply a higher home advantage league wide. I'm fairly certain there's no way to do it for individual teams unless you scorinate each match individually.

In my opinion, if traveling throughout the nation is difficult, why not have the teams play in one city at a time, and/or all the athletes for a given sport travel to a particular city for the season? (It's also an idea I've thought of for nations with wide TV distribution for niche sports; the teams play in a certain city and the games are distributed nationally/internationally as a means to encourage tourism to said city. Whoops, this is the scorinator discussion thread. :) )

double homeAdvValue = (homeAdvantage ? opt.value("homeAdvantage").toDouble() : 1);

I tested the file button next to the dice one you use to scorinate. It writes a single matchday to a file (with Unix-style line breaks, so it looks like everything's on 1 line in Windows Notepad). If you try to write to the same file multiple times, it overwrites the previous file instead of just adding the new matchday to the end of the file so you'd need to save each matchday in a separate file. You can then merge the files into a single file.

I do this. Just note the first matchday is listed as "0", so on and so forth. I personally extract the results to a spreadsheet and add one to the MDs there, then post them to the newswire thread.
