The document describes a coding test to calculate the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of a multi-sport tournament. Players in basketball and handball matches earn rating points based on stats like goals and assists. The MVP is the player with the highest total rating points across all matches. The test aims to see how applicants structure code for extensibility, best practices, and efficiency within a 3 hour time limit. Applicants should email their solution and notes as a ZIP file for evaluation.

Code Test: Most Valuable Player

DO NOT PUBLISH THE PROBLEM DESCRIPTION OR THE SOLUTION YOU IMPLEMENT.

Maximum amount of time allowed: 3 hours

Task
Abyat Tournament is a tournament where several players compete in several sports. Right
now, the sports played are basketball and handball matches. They plan to add more sports
in the future. 

You have been contacted to create a program to calculate the Most Valuable Player (MVP)
of the tournament.

You will receive a set of files, each one containing the stats of one match. Each file
will start with a row indicating the sport it refers to.

Each player is assigned a unique nickname. Each file represent a single match. The MVP
is the player with the most rating points, adding the rating points in all matches.

A player will receive 10 additional rating points if their team won the match. Every
match must have a winner team. One player may play in different teams and positions in
different matches, but not in the same match.

The program responsible of generating the files has a bug, that can be reflected in
wrong files format. If one file is wrong, the whole set of files is considered to be
wrong and the MVP won't be calculated.

BASKETBALL:

Each row will represent one player stats, with the format:

player name;nickname;number;team name;position;scored points;rebounds;assists 

This table details the rating points each player in a basketball match receives
depending on her position:

A B C D
1 Scored point Rebound Assist
2 Guard (G) 2 3 1
3 Forward (F) 2 2 2
4 Center (C) 2 1 3

E.g. a player playing as center with 10 scored points, 5 rebounds and no assists will be
granted 25 rating points (10*2 + 5*1 + 0*3 ).
The winner team is the one with more scored points.
Example:

BASKETBALL
player 1;nick1;4;Team A;G;10;2;7
player 2;nick2;8;Team A;F;0;10;0
player 3;nick3;15;Team A;C;15;10;4
player 4;nick4;16;Team B;G;20;0;0
player 5;nick5;23;Team B;F;4;7;7
player 6;nick6;42;Team B;C;8;10;0 

HANDBALL:

Each row will represent one player stats, with the format:

player name;nickname;number;team name;position;goals made;goals received

This table details the rating points each player in a handball match receives depending
on her position:

A B C D
Goal
1 Initial rating points Goal made received
2 Goalkeeper (G) 50 5 -2
3 Field player (F) 20 1 -1

E.g. a player playing as goalkeeper with 1 goals made and 10 received will be granted 35
rating points (50 + 1*5 - 10*2 = 35).
The winner team is the one with more goals made.

Example:

HANDBALL
player 1;nick1;4;Team A;G;0;20
player 2;nick2;8;Team A;F;15;20
player 3;nick3;15;Team A;F;10;20
player 4;nick4;16;Team B;G;1;25
player 5;nick5;23;Team B;F;12;25
player 6;nick6;42;Team B;F;8;25 

What we look at
You have 3 hours to complete the test and you can use any programming language you want.
No UI or database access code is needed. It is not mandatory to read input from file
system. It is acceptable to read from stdin, forms or any other source.

● This task is designed to give us an idea of how you think when faced with a very
limited amount of time to solve a task of significant complexity. 
● We are interested in how you structure your code so that it's easily extendable,
complies with best practices for the language used, and is easy to modify
/understand by others. 
● We are also interested in seeing how efficient the algorithm you implement is. 
HAND IN

Hand in your solution along with any notes, comments, and assumptions you have made
while working on the solution via e-mail to the sender. Attach all files included in
your solution bundled into a ZIP file.
