base_scores = range(8, 19)
score_costs = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3]
print zip(base_scores, score_costs)

s = [(i+8,j) for i,j in enumerate( [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3])]
print s

##[(8, 0), (9, 1), (10, 1), (11, 1), (12, 1), (13, 1), (14, 1), (15,
2), (16, 2), (17, 3), (18, 3)]
##[(8, 0), (9, 1), (10, 1), (11, 1), (12, 1), (13, 1), (14, 1), (15,
2), (16, 2), (17, 3), (18, 3)]
