Tip: It's helpful to send code, like perhaps the triple loop, that 
illustrates your problem.

highscore = 0
alignment = somealignment
for x in something:
     for y in somethingelse:
          for z in evenmoresomething:
               if x+y+z > highscore:
                   highscore = x+y+z
                   alignment = newalignment

Is that something to the effect of what you're looking for?

HTH,
