The ranking system on a challenge that I am making has two criteria: Delta-V used and Time of Flight. Obviously when two players have used the same Delta-V, the one with the higher rank is the one with the less TOF. And of course, when 2 players have the same TOF, the one with the less Delta-V gets the higher rank.
But how do I compare and rank accordingly, players that have different Delta-V usage and TOF?
For example:
We start with a budget of 3000 m/s and 150 days to complete the challenge. If either of those two variables "runs out" before the challenge goal has been met, the player gets disqualified.
I have already calculated the "perfect" score for each variable individually: Let's say, for the maximum TOF (150 days), the best you can do is 2700 m/s in Delta-V and for the maximum Delta-V (3000 m/s) the best that can do is 130 days in TOF.
So two players that have the following scores:
Player1 DeltaV 3000 m/s TOF 130 days
Player2 DeltaV 2700 m/s TOF 150 days
are both ranked as equals with a perfect score.
How would I go about to compare players with results "inbetween"?
If one has DeltaV 2800 and TOF 140 and the other one has DeltaV 2750 and TOF 145 days, which one has done better than the other?
