Well, I wasn't writing the whole extended contest system in psuedocode, just the bit about edges.

Ah, but you can only gain as many AP as the Defenders has positive, so then you need to check DAPLoss against DCAP (Defender's current AP) to see what AAPGain is.

If DAPLoss >= DCAP then
  AAPGain = DCAP
else
  AAPGain = DAPLoss
