Setting things up for the 2012 season and am experimenting with a different point system. I want to award 1 point to first player out and increment by 1 for subsequent bust-outs (I have this already setup), 3 additional points for winning, 1 point for one or more hits (in other words, whether you have one hit or knock out the entire field, you get 1 point), and 1 point for the most hits--in case of a tie, player with highest finish gets the point.
Seems like I saw almost this exact scenario here on the forum before but can't find it now.
Thanks in advance for any help.

n--r+1 = 1 point for 1st out and increment by one
+if(r=1,3) = 3 points for winning
+if(nh =>1, 1) = awards 1 point for obtaining a hit.
The point for most hits you would have to make a prize, track who has the most hits, and manually award it (unless there is a way to automatically do it that I'm not aware of).
So, to combine the first three lines:
n-r+1+if(r=1, 3)+if(nh=>1, 1) should take care of all but the hit leader, which again, should be a prize.
-
I had the n-r+1 and the manually awarded most hits prize. I'll plug the rest into the formula and see how it works. Thanks for the help!

Glad to help! - If it shouldn't work, lemme know. I'll be around for another hour before I have to get motivated for school.

Didn't work...ran test tournament and no one got any points at all.
-
Might be that it doesn't like the arguement for the hits... what if we were to change it to .... +if(nh>0, 1) ? (Can't test as the laptop that I use went kaput)
-
No difference. Do we maybe need to nest some of these expressions instead of + sign?

Magic_fubu's first formula works as long as you change => to >= (for "greater than or equals to"):
n-r+1+if(r=1, 3)+if(nh>=1, 1)
With 15 players:
1 | 18.00 |
2 | 14.00 |
3 | 13.00 |
4 | 12.00 |
5 | 11.00 |
6 | 10.00 |
7 | 9.00 |
8 | 8.00 |
9 | 7.00 |
10 | 6.00 |
11 | 5.00 |
12 | 4.00 |
13 | 3.00 |
14 | 2.00 |
15 | 1.00 |

Bah.... stupid programmer lingo.... lol. ;D
-
Indeed it does work. Thanks, you guys.
-
This looks like a great formula to use as well. Though, one question: where do I put it? In the game-tab or the stats-tab?

Bobby
EDIT: Never mind! Found the solution, thanks for taking a look, though :)
-
This would go in the points for playing box, found on the game tab.
-
Uh, oh...this no longer works. Ran first tournament of the year and manually awarded the hit leader prize with no problem. Upgraded to 3.1 and when I attempted to award the prize after last night's game, here's what I get: (see attachment).
-
T-Bone emailed this to me. It's an easy fix and I'll release a patch later today to fix it.
-
And may I say, I don't get this kind of attention from my doctor, lawyer or accountant. Okay, I don't have a lawyer or accountant but you get the point. ;D
-
Well, didn't get it out yesterday as I had hoped (had to release 3.1.1 instead), but did get the patch out tonight.
