T={}
CT={}

players={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

let's assume players 1-10 have KPDs of 10-1, respectively

random send the first player to a random team, for example CT

then T={}
        CT={1}

then #2 goes to T
        T={2}
        CT={1}

then find the average kpd of each team, weighted for # of players (T=9/2=4.5, CT=10/2=5)
since T has the lower KPD #3 goes to T
T={2,3}
CT={1}

now the balanced KPD is T=(9+8)/3=5.67, CT=(10/3)=3.33

so the next player goes to CT

CT={1,4}=>mean=4.25
T={2,3}=>mean=4.25

equal, so randomize again (assume CT)

and so on...eventually this gives you a team of (assuming randoms always go to CT)

CT={1,4,5,8,9} |KPD={10,7,6,3,2}=>mean=2.8
T={2,3,6,7,10} |KPD={9,8,5,4,1}=>mean=2.7

I am by no means a programmer or a mathematician but I feel it's easy to see how an aggressive balancing system like this could work (if it could even be implemented into CSS, I don't know jack about css except for some old sv_cheats 1 scripts).  Could also factor in server rank/# of kills to compensate for those (for example) that have never played before and are rocking a 20-1 score.

Personal opinion is that I wouldn't want to see a very aggressive team balancing script, because in my opinion, aggressive means switching players every round to balance teams. usually switching one of the top players with one of the worst is enough to balance the teams
