Texas Redistricting Competition.

Thank you. I assume one is rewarded in your scoring system, all other things being equal, in having the same Trump plus margin in a bunch of CD's, rather than having them vary. Correct?

Leaderboard:

1. Torie(v2) (380 points, 26-12 map)
2. Torie (377 points, 26-12 map)
3. Thunder98 (346 points, 25-13 map)

My first map had a score change from what you posted above (quoted below). What happened? Never mind! That was the score of the map I did not draw.  

I see now that I got an extra point for compactness and two for partisanship. I am still not sure how you compute compactness. I assume I was rewarded for moving Jasper County, which is appropriate, if that was what did it.

I was interested in seeing how the score changed for each of the three prongs. Alas that is not currently possible for me. Once I see the changes of each prong, my next question if other than the partisan score, was to ask why of course.

"You attempted a 26-12 map, and your final score is 377:

40 points for compactness
9 points for county splitting
328 points for the partisanship of districts"

I might be useful in your master chart, to have the score for each prong and then the total, so the chart would have 4 columns, with each row being a given map of course.  Just a thought.

A master chart is a good idea; I’ll try to compile that tomorrow so we know where each map excelled and didn’t do as well

Here is my Pubmander TX CD contest map updated based on the 2020 census numbers.

Looks nice. I'll plug this map into my new calculator once it's ready
