Title: Forumula for this point structure
Post by: dniezby on August 08, 2010, 02:00:44 PM
Ok Cory, you've really got this formula stuff down.

Check out the attached PDF. What would the formula be for this point structure?

(1500 + if(n > 32, n * 10, 0)) * if(r < 17, switch(r, 1, .3, 2, .2, 3, .12, 4, .08, 5, .07, 6, .06, 7, .05, 8, .04, .01), 0)

Wow, this looks totally different than what I was coming up with. 

I guess I really don't understand these formulas.

Thanks though.

It takes a few shortcuts.  For example, this part:

if(r < 17, switch(r, 1, .3, 2, .2, 3, .12, 4, .08, 5, .07, 6, .06, 7, .05, 8, .04, .01), 0)

... assigns a percentage for players who rank better than 17 (so 16th place and under).  However, the switch() statement only assigns values for ranks 1st through 8th.  Because according to the chart, ranks 9th through 16th all get 1 percent, the switch() has a default of .01.  To avoid giving .01 percent to ALL players, we use the if() to weed out any players who rank 17th or greater.  We could have done this with a longer switch() statement:

switch(r, 1, .3, 2, .2, 3, .12, 4, .08, 5, .07, 6, .06, 7, .05, 8, .04, 9, .01, 10, .01, 11, .01, 12, .01, 13, .01, 14, .01, 15, .01, 16, .01)

switch (r, 1, 40, 2, 35, 3, 30, 4, 28, 5, 26, 6, 20, 7, 16, 8, 15, 9, 12, 10, 10, 0)

Basically, TD will look at a players rank (r), and if it's a top ten finish, it will award the appropriate amount of points. If it's outside the top ten, they will get zero. If you want to award points for outside the top ten (say, everyone gets a point for showing) then change the zero to the value you would like.
