Let's start by asking you not to use ALL CAPS - that's considered yelling.

so, something like this
Then some thoughts (not exhaustive list):
- You can use a data structure like dict, to get rid of these huge if statements
- Don't repeat yourself - define a function when you have repeating code
- when copy/paste code it's prone to error like the one on line 141 - you left
team1wp
, instead of changing it toteam2wp
- use meaningful names instead of x and y
- don't use global variables, pass arguments to your functions.
- the checks you make on lines 7-15 will never be used - you have a while loop on line 3 and user input will always be forced to be a valid name. i.e. you cannot continue
- you don't give option for the user to stop when you ask to enter team2
so, something like this
teams = {'Bucks': .815, 'Raptors':.719, 'Celtics':.672, 'Heat':.631, 'Pacers':.600, '76Ers':.600, 'Nets':.469, 'Magic':.462, 'Wizards':.375, 'Hornets':.354, 'Bulls':.338, 'Knicks':.318, 'Pistons':.303, 'Hawks':.299, 'Cavaliers':.292, 'Lakers':.769, 'Clippers':.682, 'Nuggets':.652, 'Jazz':.636, 'Thunder':.631, 'Rockets':.631, 'Mavericks':.588, 'Grizzlies':.485, 'Blazers':.448, 'Spurs':.438, 'Kings':.431, 'Pelicans':.424, 'Suns':.409, 'Timberwolves':.297} def get_team(teams): while True: user_response = input('Enter team name or stop to quit: ').title() if user_response == 'Stop': return None, None elif user_response in teams: return user_response, teams.get(user_response, 0) else: print('Invalid input') def crtadv(home_team, home_power, home_coefficient, away_team, away_power, away_coefficient): if home_power * home_coefficient > away_power * away_coefficient: return home_team else: return away_team game = [] for idx in range(2): team, power = get_team(teams) if team: game.append((team, power)) else: break else: home_team, away_team = game winner = crtadv(*home_team, 1.1, *away_team, .9) print(f"The winner will be the {winner}")
