Description
Completely redoing the scoring system. Previously Borda count was uneven as judges who saw more projects have more scoring power. Instead, Copeland counting breaks down rankings into pairwise comparisons for a more fair scoring system. We will also remove the limit on ranking projects as now we prefer more information from judges.
The other big change this PR adds is the way scores are aggregated and displayed. Before, the score value of projects was updated on the project document itself. For some reason, we had negative scores (bad in Borda but fine now) and negative stars. This has been amended by instead doing an aggregation at project view time. However, we do need to implement a pre-aggregation on the judges, which converts the rankings into the Copeland score. This is done whenever the rankings are updated.
This change allows for a more consistent and less-buggy scoring system. Using Copeland method
instead of Borda count means that we have more accurate judging results as well.
